Hello Kevin
Excellent macro of this dragonfly.
Very well composed, and the POV let us apreciate with plenty of details this eating moment.
The spots of light in the background works pretty well thanks to the DOF used.
Congratulations for this photo and thanks for share it with us,

Hi Kevin,
Great macro shot. Great DoF, sharp, very fine details, and nice blurry BG.
Slightly different with dragonfly that we find here -we have a bigger head- but I think they are from similar species.
Excellent shot.

This is indeed a verocious hunter!
What a geat capture!
I really like the POV here and all the clear and very sharp details!
Also, the colors are charming and the DOF is impecable, isolating the subject very well from the BG.
Great work!

Bravo, TFS and have a great week

Hello Kevin,
Interesting close-up showing great details of dragonfly gobbling up his victim. Colours and composition are great. But, when you look at these wonderful beauties too closely they're hardly beautiful any more, so I look forward to your next beautiful photo!!

Hi Kevin,
I'm surprise to read in your notes that you can even touch its wings! Perfect moment, details, colors, and composition.
BTW, every creature must it, so it is beautiful scene; think of humans eating a turkey!

Hello Kevin,
This is really impressive, like all your pictures in fact :) Wow! What a great timing you had. This is so close with excellent details, POV and composition. This is another amazing shot! You told me that it is difficult to photograph Blue jay for you; I can say that I never succeed at photographing dragonfly ;) Congratulations!

Hi Kevin,
from your many excellent macros I choose this one to comment and to put on my favorite's list. It is a quite conventional subject (not the species per se though) but you did such a superb job as regards the composition, the light, DOF. Just wonderful!
My best regards

Kevin, This is a stunning shot and a perfect macro. Superb POV and great color and sharp details. How was it when you were shooting behind the lens? Feeling with a lot of anxiety and pity? Well done. Ganesh
