Emperor Dragonfly
Not the most artistic photo I've taken (though I quite like the reflection). This is a female Emperor Dragonfly (Anax imperator) laying eggs in a large pond.
The Emperor is the largest dragonfly in Europe, but while laying, she was frequently "buzzed" by Azure Damselflies (upper left). I'm not sure if they were bravely defending their territory, or looking to eat the Emperor's eggs.
