Wonderful, just stunning!

I've been using my Panasonic 100-300 with my E-M5 II for dragonflies, but this puts my efforts to shame. Could you give some details on whether this was raw or jpg, and how much you had to crop, etc?

This may just make my dragonfly shooting more expensive.

Shoot your 100-300 at 150mm or thereabouts, or maybe even a little shorter if you can. Specifically, f/5.6 for maximum center sharpness or f/8 for maximum overall edge-to-edge sharpness (whatever you deem to be most important). It's a whole lot sharper in that range than it is at the long end. In fact the sweet spot of most "consumer-grade" (for lack of a better term) zoom lenses, which you'd be close to in the above scenario, is going to hang pretty well with all the "pro" zooms.
