Hi Jean Michel, nice capture. I like the POV and theres some good detail here. Maybe it could be a little sharper but I know how difficult these are to capture. Well done.

Nice work Jean Michel, those are very timid insects. This is a challenge to get such a shot. Rather good details and a good composition.
Well done.

Hi Jean , ours are not out yet so nice to see this female, I think you could of done with using a higher F stop to get a better DOF. how close where you to it? I find getting as cloose as possible with-out using any zoom gives the best DOF and image in my experiance.
I notice both you and the books talk about the male guarding her while she oviposits, from observations at the lake at work I have not seen this happen ever, ours spend 20mins depositing eggs by dipping her abdomen and dropping eggs onto the water surface where the jelly swells and they sink and stick to the vegitation below the surface.
hope this is of use.

Wow! Another neat insect I've neverr seen before.
I had no idea there were broad bodied dragonflies.
Thanks for this one.

Belle et intéressante composition macro-photographique bien réalisée pour cette superbe libellule. Jolies couleurs et bonne netteté sur le "mécanisme" des ailes.
Very Well Done !
