Hello Pankaj,
You have achieved excellent sharpness and good lighting with the use of flash. This detailed portrait of this dragonfly shows in superb detail that would pass for a first class macro lens instead of the kit lens that you used.
Well done and thanks,
Ivan

An eye popper...or perhaps some treat for the eye to see. Very good contrasting colours so sharp and framed well as is your way.

Hi Pankaj, no macro? your lens did a great job here. I love the pov as a close up here, fine detail and good sharpness on the Dragonfly. Great light and strong colours all making a great composition.
