Hello Ram,

Excellent POV!, Very curious and striking. Excellent work background, very contrasting and blur. The approach is excellent, giving presence to the fore front of the insect. Excellent frame width and black highlights all very good!

Hello Ram,

Here's a POV that I like. For now, I try also to make this type of photo!

Excellent colors. I find the black frame a little too big, but it is a personal view.

Hello Ram,
Original photo in this frontal POV. Superb sharpness and very beautiful clear colours. Very fine OOF BG.
Regards,
Peter

Ciao Ram, splendid portrait of beautiful damselfly, amazing details of eyes, great light and colors, excellent sharpness and wonderful blurry BG, very well done, ciao Silvio

If one used an optical illusory approach, the perch could be the body and we could dub out the tail....it is a character almost..I love it and I will play with it..

Namaste,

Ram I love your recent pictures for their dynamically daring composition and POV. Though some of the fellow photo artists might not like this, I enjoy these pictures more as it has a sense of creativity in it.

Hello Ram,
This time you were really close and face-to-face with this little beauty!! A lovely POV and sharp focus on the pretty eyes. Fine sharpness and lovely colours too against the smooth background.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Ram !
This is an unusual picture of a Damselfly, but I love it - the close-up on her eyes nis amazing, it seems to be looking directly in our eyes ! :-) I also like the colors, this vivid yellow, the soft green of blurred BG, and the composition is wonderful. Once again you managed to show us a picture which stands out among the hundred of other picture from TN. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hello ram
great and unusual capture with fine details on these little Ceriagrion coromandelianum. Beutiful soft background giving depth to the photo for an excellent contrast on vivid colors and interesting flares damselfly.
