Hi Jusni,

Yesterday's tea break was most productive! A wonderful capture of this dragonfly in a magnificent pose. The colors are phenomenal - I've never seen such a colorful dragonfly. Excellent details of the face, body and wings. Very effective against the dark background.

There is such a fine light in your photo. Moreover the contrast between insect and background looks very fine. Image is sharp so good details of dragonfly can be well observed.

Thank you for sharing,

Ciao Yusni, fantastic light for this splendid dragonfly, wonderful details and great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

I have added this one to my sun use list/theme. The angle of light makes this image both dynamic and dramatic. Fine work! Even the colours are more clearly seen!

Hi Jusni,
Absolutely excellent capture of this colorful tropical insect, perfect focus, sharpness and composition. Great use of the "almost-return" light, which resulted a dark, deep green background, which has very nice contrast with the insect in the lights. I can only say bravo and thanx, my Friend, this is a masterful pic.
Have a nice Sunday, László

Hi Jusni.
What an interesting and creative shot. I like wonderful play of sunlight and darks. Light effects are very impressive. Composition of the picture created by twig and nice insect on it is superb. DOF is great. Sharpness and details of the scene are ultimate. Bravo and TFS.
Alexei.
