WOW! Now this is really RED!
Excellent contrast with the other parts of its bode - much darker and very good DFO work, isolating it from a difficult BG.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Chris,
Though the red abdomen is very striking, you have focussed, quite rightly, in on the thorax and wings on this Skimmer. The diagonal composition and BG add to make this a fine presentation.
TFs, regards, Ivan

Hello Chris,
This is an interesting pov that not normally seen. You did well with excellent sharpness, exposure, and depth of the picture. Regards,

Hello Chris,
Very nice composition illustrating this bright red species with black wings. We've seen a very similar one in Queensland with brown wings.
TFS, Ulla

Hi Chris!

Very nice red colour and composition. Slightly too soft for me. Did you tried to blurr image to avoid our well known S2 noise ;-) ?

So nice that species of dragonflies! Great photo!
