Sympetrum fonscolombii
Female
Frequent habitats: Artificial Circles, opened natural Ponds.
Libellulidae constitutes the most important family in Europe for the number of kinds and for the whole order. The representatives of this family have a blue, red general colouring, black, yellowish, greenish …
In France, the family of Libellulidae counts six types, twenty three kinds and two subspecies:
the representatives of this family notably acknowledge by all following characters: Medium or small Size (wingspan lower or equal to 8 cm); eyes, very spacious, meet on the top of the head.
Colouring of the abdomen varied according to kinds and sex: blue, red, cochineal, purple, black with or stainless clear, brown, translucent ridges, at the males; green, yellow with lines or black drawings, brown on dark bottom at the females.
The fly is powerful and lively, the males settle regularly but the presence of others congeneric or particularly well brought up temperatures draws away takeoff or quasi permanent theft of these last.

Surely not I sold the large notion about the macrophotography. I must verify my own knowledge and own skills in this range. Looking at this and earlier photos, one feels embarrassed to these, what itself I can in this range. The wonderful picture, beautiful colours and light, very good sharpness.
Best regards from Poznan,

Bomjour Servane,

Felicitation!

Bonjour Servane,
this is a picture expressing a particular mood due to the specific light which you captured very well and due to the 'simply' beautiful general composition. Colours appear to be produced and harmonized just for this picture.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Servane,
welcome to TN! Within a few days you have been contributing an impressive number of powerful macro photographies that always contain a great deal of atmospheric density. They are more than just clearly descriptive captures of animals and plants, they are distinctively artistic paintings of light - like this one, that is showing perfect details on the dragonfly, a remarkably well managed depth of field, dramatically deep colours, and a very dynamic composition.
Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Hello Servane,

You found a very good title for this excellent picture! I love your composition a lot! You placed the dragonfly into one of the hotspots and used the plant as a guiding line to lead our eyes towards the subject. The fiery background is perfect and isolates the dragonfly very well. This simple composition is very efficient.
The colors are warm and well saturated and the contrast was well adjusted. Great exposure too! Thank you for sharing!

With Friendly Regards,
Eddie

Hi Servane,
Wonderful dragonfly shot with fantastic lighting and fabulous colours. A precise DOF lets the subjects stand out from the BG. Excellent POV to portray this and a superb composition. Kudos.

Hello Servane,
This is an excellent capture of a female S. fonscolombi, nicely composed against a pleasing blurred natural BG. The dragonfly is shrp and the colours and lighting are excellent.
Well done and thanks for sharing this!
