[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Fartash has emerged as the champion of large posts of damselflies in the past one year or so.
If I succeed in uploading the larger version of my Coromandel Marsh Dart today (large posts are quite dicey to upload; I may goof up the specifications at some level), I would like to dedicate it to our young friend Fartash.
His macro work of these insects has always been of high quality and my macro falls quite short of the standards set by him. Nevertheless, I would dedicate it to him since he has inspired me to emulate him.

For further information on this species of Damselflies, please refer to my pictures of it posted earlier.
Thanks for looking and all the best.

Hi Ram.
You are so modest and sensitive person. Your shot is wonderful and note is so touching. I like very impressive strong horizontal cropping which is suitable for image of this charming creature greatly. BG is excellent, smooth and pleasant to eyes. Pictured scene at whole is great and exactness of damselfly details is perfect. Well done and TFS.

hi Ram,
très jolie macro de cette libellule. J'apprécie notamment l'hormonie des couleurs et la teinte verte dominante. Bon POV, excellente DOF.

Hello Ram
Very good picture. Detailed and sharpn. Nice colours too.
Nice uniform background.
Congratulations and I'm waiting for more :)

Hi RAm,
though a good picture, it has more of Green cast. And soft. Instead of f-5, you could have used 8 or 11. I know you are well versed, but i felt like conveying to you. Thanks,

Another of your beautiful damsels, captured perfectly under favourable lighting and from an all-seeing viewpoint Ram, how did you arrange the OOF BG going from dark - to light green, I wonder!

A perfect shot for him too!

Bellissima presentazione e ottimo taglio compositivo, molto buona la nitidezza e molto belli i colori e BG verde "diffuso". Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Ram,
Excellent shot of this elegant looking damselfly and the LP version makes it come alive. Beautiful colours and sharpness and I like the light and shadow effect on its body. The green BG looks majestic and gives a natural touch while letting the subjects stand out perfectly. Fartash so very deserves this fine dedication for all his outstanding effort and expertise on producing great images and LP versions of them. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hallo Ram
This damselfly surely knows how to do the balancing act. This is an amazingly sharp image with clear details. Amazing details on the eyes, and wings. The back part of the body looks like it has been made out of a bamboo stick. A lovely image, with great focus and sharpness, which you presented in a most delightful manner. I like the bright and vibrant colour of the damselfly, and together with the darker green background it makes a perfect combination of colours. Thanks for sharing.
Best Regards
Anna

Hello Ram,

Only marking today.

Hello Ram !
It's been quite a long time since I last visited your gallery, I discover many beautiful pictures. I really like this one. I love the cheerful colors on the Damselfly and the beautiful green color in the BG, it's really wonderful. Details, sharpness, composition, POV, pose of the Damselfly, everything else is excellent too. Very well done !
