une demoiselle sur une aire de repos...
je n'ai pas recadré plus, je trouve joli de laisser cette verdure avec cette diagonale qui traverse le cadre...
même si j'avais le matériel pour, je ne crois pas que je serai le genre à diffuser des gros plan de l'oeil droite d'une mouche comme j'en vois parfois...

***

a damselfly on a rest area... I did not reframe closer, I find pretty to leave this greenery with this diagonal which crosses the framing... even if I had the material for, I do not believe that I will be the kind to diffuse large plan of the eye right-hand side of a fly as I see some sometimes...

Hi Jonathan,
Nice sharp focus on this damselfly. Yes, sometimes it is good to see the damselfly in its natural setting rather than the macro shot of it's eyes. It is all a matter of personal choice. The colors and light are nice in this one.

Bonjour Jonathan,
Image très fine pour présenter cette demoiselle. Je suis d'accord avec toi. L'environnemnt d'un insecte peut aussi beaucoup contribuer à la beauté d'une image et en plus elle il nous renseigne sur les habitudes de l'animal ou de l'insecte présentés.
Bien vu
Anne

Jonarthan, Nice shot and good details. The focus is clear. Ganesh

salut jo
c'est vrai que ce n'est pas mal non plus avec le verdure autour,mais si on publié des gros plan d'un oeil de mouche ou autres c'est pour lire dans leur pensée!!!c'est aussi un defi de les approcher au plus pres.
en tous cas bonne qualité d'image;

Bonjour Jonatahn,
A very clear capture of this damselfly!
You got a very particular pose with the insect aligned in the same direction than the leave.
I like all the directions marked by the leaves and the lighting on it.
Felicitacions et merci pour le partage.
Mes amities,
JM

Hello Jonathan,
Yes, the Damselfly does look good in the context of its environment and it rather emphasises its small size. Excellent capture, sharp and in natural colours. I like the diagonal pose too.
Many thanks, Ulla

Outstanding detail...POV, composition, colors and BG are all excellent...Very well done...TFS

Hallo Jonathan

Yes I agree with Ken 52 on this one. One does not always have to only see a head shot or a macro of this or any other insect. The blue of the insect and the green of the grass compliment one another very well. I love the detail of the plants hair. It adds a special touch to the photo. I once before saw a photo much the same as this one of yours. I searched for it to compare, but now see that this one has more green to it. I have no knowledge of this kind of insects and do not even know if they are the same or in any way related. Anyway I include a link to the one I am referring to. If you have some time you can go and have a look. March Bluetail
Congratulations on this one and thank you for sharing it with us. I also like the one in your portfolio with the title bonjour mademoiselle. But blue is my favourite colour and that is why I always spot the blue on the thumbnails first.

Kind regards.
Aaltjie.

Ps. I really like that shining guitar you have on your intro page.

salut Janathan,
pas mal du tout cette demoiselle, l'image est bien lumineuse et colorée, la netteté bien maîtrisée.
bien vu

Bonjour Jonathan

Bonne soirée.

Jonathan, there seems to be some noise on the bg, but this is a very nice capture.

I like composition and saturation a lot. Great pov too.

selam jonathan, nice macro shot and very good composition nice pov and bg with splendid colours. Well done ! Regards ridvan
