I think these may well be Golden-ringed dragonflies, Cordulegaster boltoni, unless there's another species which ressembles these closely.
If I'm correct, then they should be in Denmark, too, only not in the area where I live. I've never seen one around here.
Good capture of this pair, well done to get both heads within DOF range (not as easy as some might think ;-)). Nicely oof bg. I think I'd have left in a bit more on the right, you just about cropped his toes.

Quite a stunning shot, the colors are very vivid! Miloup has the right of it, it could have done very well with a little more space to the right to even things out.

Other than that, amazing DOF!! Well done!

Hi Vetea, this is a great shot. Great BG, DOF, sharpness and I like your composition the way it is, very artistic - but make sure to keep the toes in as Milloup says. I think it's wonderful, TFS

Hi Vetea, this is a nice capture. Very nice colours and very good Dof. The subject are a bit too right IMO. You could include all of the iron rod in the frame. Fine and clear BG.
Well done.
