Sublime Macro!

POV and composition are very strong in this picture! DOF is perfect and very unique together with this perspective.

Great example for my own photography!
Count me in as a fan of your work!

Humongues compliments :-), Arjuna.

Bonjour Laurent,
Fantastic sharp shot with unusual frontal POV of the female C. splendens. The flash and tripod really allowed a great sharpness and DOF, though flash sometimes distorts the colours, as maybe here.
Great shot!

Bonjour Laurent,
Magnificent macro of this calopteryx!
I like very much the clear details got on their eyes, it amazing the sharpness on them.
Very good also the metallic reflections got on all the body, specially the golden tones and the purple-like on the legs.
Great illumination job done here.
Felicitacions et merci du partager.

Hello Laurent,
This is certainly un unusual view of a dragonfly - quite amazing shot! Great focus on head and upright wings and nice gold on the thorax! The blue colour must be the effect of the flash.
TFS and regards, Ulla

Salut Laurent

Another very beautiful macro shot of this graceful damselfly!
The frontral POV looks great here and it captures an interesting figure expression of your subject.
The colors are great and the metallic reflection capture one's attention well.
Good sharp details and great flash work.

Bravo and TFS

Bonjour Laurent,
very elegant composition.
I love the head on POV and how you framed the damselfly letting the wings stretch into each corner.
DOF and sharpness is tight on and the colors come out lovely.

Hi Laurent.
What a great POV and pictured scene. Your cooperation with dragonfly is amazing. Exposure tine (1/25) and patience of the insect impress the imagination. Colours and details, DOF and cropping are great too. Bravo and TFS.
