[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi,
I was traveling with a small bus from Vinh to Hanoi. in the middle of the road we stopped for lunch but the place didn't look so clean so I just decided to go to the back of the restaurant (outside) and have a snack bar which I had in my backpack. This dragonfly flew around and I snapped a few shot with my tele lens while eating. I didn't notice the fly in his mouth till I was back at home and saw it on my monitor. That was nice surprise for me.
enjoy!

Skye


PS: thanks to all who commented and welcomed me here on TN! It's good to be here! cheers!

Nice little creature. I have always wondered what the heck they were eating, now I know. Good depth of field and sharpness. It may be that the bright concrete is disturbing a bit and a lower point of view could have helped. Anyway, nice work!

troche przyszumione ale ³adnie z³apane:)

Hi Skye, its a beautiful dragonfly.
You have caught nicely with in the breakfast.
Well composed, nice colours and good details. I like the POC too.
Very well done.

Hi Skye,
wonderful shot, this looks like a little monster. I love the colours of this beautiful dragonfly, and you catched it at the right moment, thank you very much, excellent

Nice shot and the fly is a bonus. Good POV and interesting note.

Nice capture of a type of dragonfly I haven't seen before, possibly a clubtail of some kind.
Focus spot on and very good DOF for your only F-4. When shooting dragonflies it's always a good idea to go as high as you can on F-stop in order to get as much as possible within DOF range. Good colours and, yes, the fly is definitely an added bonus ;-))
