Hi Hendrik!
This is superb photo for sure! Composition is excellent and it has something like arty mood. I like colours - green dragon, red roots in water, blue reflected sky. And on BG we can see also one of water true bugs. Great piece of pond's life here. To my favs.

Amazing shot Hendrik!
Perfect as always but what's more... POV is superb!
This kind of shots needs a new category - maybe "art-modern shots?"

Hello Hendrik

This is lovely work. So many nice clear bright colours. Your POV is excellent as the light is hitting the beautiful transparent wings and they are emitting colurs just like a prism. Outstanding!! Thanks.

HI Hendrick,
Lovely photo.
Nice details and good note. All the other life in the picture is interesting too.

Nice composition.

Hello Hendrik,

Great photo! It has a fairytaleish/painting like atmosphere. I like it a lot! Colors are great, exposure is good (some hot spots between the wings on the body), details are sharp and lovely composition. You have got some noise in the bg and I don't really dig your frame. Still it's a great picture! TFS!

Regards,
Pieter

vroeger had je op school van die mooie getekende platen over de natuur. Dit doet me een beetje hieraan denken. Schittterende foto wederom, prachtige diepte, alsof het 3 D is. Heel mooi gedaan.

This is a wonderful micro world of its own, Hendrik.

There is so much to see, and yet, it is quite natural and easy on the eyes.

Excellent details, not only on the dragonfly, but other inhabitants as well. Great colors, lighting and POV.

You have packed a lot of punch in this interesting and diverse photo, thank you so much for sharing it with us.
