Hello Pankaj,
Very elegant dragonfly with most beautiful metallic colors on the thorax. It's a special picture showing so well the transparency of the wings. I'm just a little puzzled by the background, which I have to say, works well here.
Thanks and have a nice business trip

This shot is excellent. If you have Photoshop, I would boost the vibrance a bit and print this. Its an excellent photo that screams to be printed. Great shot.

Hi Pankaj,

Beautiful and unusal shot of this dragonfly with the flower appearing to be part of the insect. Lighting is wonderful giving a sheen to the wings. Excellent colors and details - lovely position - wonderful background and a nice centered composition.

Hi Pankaj,
Another outstanding macro image and this dragonfly looks fantastic. Immaculate sharpness and I like the details and subtle sheen on its wings. Perfect DOF and I like this POV to portray it. Excellent composition against that soothing BG.

It is a Slender Skimmer, Pankaj. I have seen and photographed it so frequently I am quite familiar with it. A very cooperative subject. Returns to the same perch time and again.
Your POV is indeed very effective; we get to see the entire subject in perfect detail and natural colours. Your 150mm has produced a great picture and that arrangement of the little flowery perch lends extra charm to your composition.
TFS and enjoy your business trip.

WOW Pankaj,

What a lovely picture of this dragonfly! You took a wonderful pov in order to get all the fine details of the wings' nerves. I like the presence of the delicate plant and flower. Here the dragonfly is centered but it works very well for me.

Great job and TFS!

Hi Pankaj!

I missed this one, and I'm glad to discover it now! The details of the wings are simply superb and make this picture an outstanding one. Moreover, the metallic aspect of the body suits the geometrical wings very well. The samll plant contrasts well with this effect.

Kind regards
