Hello Haraprasan!
Nice to see you again :)
As I see this time you decided to show us a species of Odonata. As for me - it is new, I do not remember if I saw it before.
I am not sure if it was a good idea to keep so much free space above the dragonfly, but this is only my point of view :)
Note is informative and interesting, it is nice to know English name of this species, as for me it is funny :)
All the best from Lodz my Friend!
And I hope that soon new picture will be shown by you!

Namaste Hara Das,
A long time since you've posted on TN.
I hope you are well.
I don't recall having seen this Trumpet Tail on TN before.
I'm guessing you took this from a little way away otherwise I'm sure you would have cropped it for a closer look.
Its still a good clear shot and we can see lots of detail.
Thanks for sharing this,and please keep posting.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Haraprasan.
You have shared a shot of a very nice species of the dragonflies. I like direct POV and perfect presentation of all its features. However, BG I so wonderful. Its details and smoothness are amazing. Well done and my best wishes.

Ciao Haraprasan,

Wonderful clarity here and great color. It's not easy to photograph a dragonfly amidst so many stems and twigs and still be able to distinguish the little guy from the background, but you did a fine job with this! Good stuff!!
