[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My first and last dragonfly.
I remember chasing this fellow around a water pond in the hills of Shimla. The fellow wouldn't sit still. Finally when I did have a go, it turned out to be a damp squib!
Stopped chasing dragonflies after that.

Hi Ram,

Your effort chasing this fellow is worth it!! a good picture excellent composition and colors

There is too much disturbance at the border of the insects body , this happens because of too much sharpening / bad scanning :-)

Even i have collection of them which has gone wrong because of bad scanning in the lab :-)

Hi Ram,
Very nice shot with great composition and beautiful colours,
the frame is excellent.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello Ram,
a very fine macro shot. Excellent detail and good tones of colour. A great capture, very well done. Thank you.

wel Ram I know also something about dragonflies, the composition is nice, the quality is not nice, there is a lot pixelnoise, you can see it very good in the grean unther the dragonfly. the pov is not good enough the dof is good, the frame is also very nice, anyway well done.

Hello Ram, nice shot. The pose is very good. and the colours look great too. The pictures is a little small though, it would be nice larger. There do seem to be some artifacts from PP - especially around the abdomen and the perch - probably from overharpening or noise reduction? The composition is great though!

A clear picture with good sharpness.
