Hello Kedar,

Marvellous shot of this golden dragonfly, just awesome! I love the colors of the dragonfly. In addition, good sharpness especially the wings and eyes, nice POV and great contrast to the BG, make your picture a great composition. Well done!

TFS.

Hi Kedar,
A nice capture of this beautiful Scarlet Skimmer female. Sharp details and a lovely composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

An excellent shot, my friend Kedar.
I feel this shot is slightly oversaturated, the noise in the BG says so..
I will try and do a WS to reduce that noise.
But that does not take away the superbness of this shot...
Maybe I need to go in for the SX10 IS too.
Bravo!

Hello Kedar !
What a gorgeous picture of thie Skimmer ! I love the golden color, it's so wonderful and makes a lovely contrast with the green BG. I also like the translucent and fragile-looking wings. Excellent sharpness and details, splendid composition, great POV, vivid colors. Very well done !

A nice capture of a female species of Crocothemis taken from a great POV to show most of the features with excellent sharpness and saturated colours against a pleasing natural BG.

Hi Kedar,

Namaste and Good Morning Kedar,
Wondeerful macro capture of a pretty scarlet from an unusual but nice POV with excellent clarity and bright colours.
TFS and have a nice WE MF!
Cheers,

Hello Kedar.

Thank you for that nice picture, full of colors.

The composition from the picture is more or less attractive. One point is that you have taken the photography on the back of the insect.

Very good sharpness and depth of field : many fine details are perceptibles. Colors and contrast are realistic. And the wings have perfectly well been photographied.

Thank you for that photography.

Hope to see you soon on treknature for other pictures.

All the best.

Hi Kedar,
This is indeed nice MF. Great macro, lovely pose and sharpness on the insect. I like this shot even though the visible background noise is a minus, but everything else is on the positive side (warm color tones beside those mentioned above). Nice job, tfs.
Best regards from Hungary, László
