Hello Ganesh,
I can't recall having seen this dragonfly here before but I may be wrong! It's a real beauty and you've managed to get a splendid shot of it in a fine pose. Great focus on the beautiful eyes and fine sharp details. It has wonderful wings that stand out nicely against the background. Well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Ganesh,

I don't think I have seen this dragonfly before. Wonderful macro captured when the wings were in a lovely position. It is so colorful - I love those big eyes and the wings that look like they were painted.

Hello Narayanan,

What an interestin chromatic palet has your photo. There are so many, well looking, green color tones. The delicate colors of insect's wings matches well with the background. Insect is well focused showing good sharp details of the body and part of the wings.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

The nearly perfect symmetry of the nature really pleases the eye Ganesh, and you've captured it expertly from an ideal vantage point my friend, sharp and finely coloured. TFS this fine macro-scene indeed!

Hi Ganesh Ji,

Hi Ganesh,
what a beautiful dragonfly!
This is a razor-sharp capture.
The composition is top-class.
A little more DOF would have been better but the dragonfly is still well isolated.
Excellent POV.

Well done,
Joe

World is beautiful --So are you..
You love the nature -- so It's true.
A stunning capture.
