Hello Smitha,
this is a superb picture of
- Rhyothemis variegata (Linnaeus, 1763)
- family: Libellulidae
Focus is pretty good. Particularly, I like the light reflected on the wings.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Smitha,
This is a fine capture of a libellulid dragonfly, most of it being sharp. A fine composition with pleasing BG.

What wonderful light you have captured on the wings. It really adds something to this picture full of yellows, greens and blacks.

Hello Smitha,
Wonderful capture of this Libellula. The wings look really enormous and are so beautiful! Great sharpness and nice light and it stands out nicely from the blurred background.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Smitha,
your shots are all so wonderful.
I love the birds so much - but most I like dragonflies - special this beautiful picture-wing. Thank you so much for this beauty
