It looks like this guy has a slight layer of frost on him. Winter has arrived hasn't it? Beautifully lit specimen and the detail is great. The dark BG adds to the feeling of winter. Wonderfully composed and presented. TFS Nagaraj. :)

Namaste Nagaraj,
I love this shot - to see these tiny drops on the pretty wings of the dragon, that's marvelous. Winter in South-India, of which temerature are you talking?
We also had the beginning of winter today - it was snowing. All the dragons and insects died now and I have to wait until next June to have them back - such a long time, that's sad!
Thanks for your beauty, bye and greetings

Nagaraj,

It looked ordinary in the Thumbnail. Once I opened the page, I could see why you were excited about this picture. Well done. You have effectively used Sun light and dew drops to paint this excellent picture.

Regards,

I seriously love the etheral properties of the image..they bring something out which many never see...almost a part of the 'soul of insects' should there be such a thing....Very nice!

Hello Nagraj,

Beautiful picture of this wet dragonfly. Beautiful composition. Good POV. DOF could have been a little broader I think to better see the dew on the wings. Good focus and beautiful detail. Nice light and colours. Not winter, but it was cold the past days here.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Nagaraj

A very beautiful shot of this dragonfly in such early morning.
I've seen some friends shooting dragonflies in dew this year and i also wanted to try it....i guess it'll have to wait for next year.
Your capture here shows both these elements very well and together they give a special light to the subject.
Good details and nice color, but with maybe a bit shallow DOF.
Even so, very nice work!

Bravo and TFS
