[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Sympetrum Vulgatum, in German:
gemeine Heidelibelle.
Body is about 35 mm long, wingspan 60 mm.

I had the great luck to see her sitting on the fence.
Her eyes are so wonderful. And it always seem, she's looking watchful what I was doing.
She even "liked" the flash, in any case she let me make a few shots before she flow away.
Now I'm realy addicted to see more of those beautiful dragenflies, the most interesting insect I know.
What a wonderful world!

Amazingly clear shot Wishnu. These insects are, indeed, fascinating and technology (and nature!) has made it possible to see them so close-up. The colours, detail and composition are awesome. You have yourself a wonderful shot here. Well done! Best wishes, Vicky

I look in your eyes and...I say it's very beautiful !
Sharp is very great, colors are excellent.
TFS. Nico.

Great photo, Sabine. I am proud to have a photo near your in the Gallery! ;-)
If eyes are really the reflection of the soul, this Dragon has certainly a big one.
Excellent composition, PoV, etc.
Yes, they are very interesting, and you make them a big honor by sharing this photo.
Thank you.

Hallo Sabine, soviel Dussel möchte ich auch mal haben. Ich jage seit 3 Tagen hinter den Königslibellen her. (hier ist ein kleiner Teich, der momentan ca. 7 Großlibellen bevölkert ist.) Habe keine Chance zum Schuß.
- Dein Foto ist Klasse. Spitzenmakro! Farblich sehr schön und auch gestochen scharf. Danke. Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende.

This is the pic!Great!!

Wow. How do you get your macro shots so sharp? Of course you are very talented.

Regards,

Tom

I think this is a sympetrum striolatum female because the moustache does not bend downwards along the eye like it does in the sympetrum vulgatum.
Nice macro by the way! Good sharpness of the head.
