A second shot (of 45) of the male Southern Hawker
(Aeshna cyanea) which came to visit us at work.

I had a hard time getting it out again when i was
finished taking my photos - i got stuck between two
windows and was not able to get out of there again.
i could only stick a fly-swatter in between until it
grabbed it and i could pull him out.

Apologies for the sterile white bg - as mentinoned
before - this is the window frame
and of course for the weird coloreful frame -
i somehow had to be. *g*

This was originally a vertical composition, but i
thought turning it 90° looked better.

Pin sharp from head to tail, amazing colours and good POV. I think this looks great against the shiny white surfaces (your office looks a lot cleaner than mine)

Hi Thor

This is indeed a very beautiful and impressive dragonfly and you did good to have your camera on you :)
The details are spectacular, and the POV great. The white surroundings, although artificial, are good for bringing out the very beautiful colors of the hawker.
Very well done!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Thorsten - wie Du ja weißt - ich liebe diese Libelle - soooo klasse.
So steril finde ich den Hintergrund gar nicht - sie spiegelt sich so schön und nichts lenkt ab.
Vielen Dank und eine schöne Woche in Berlin, tschüssi

Hi Thorsten
Looks like a cadillac you have in your garrage, pardon, in that window:-)) Great colours, details, dof, pov! What a beautiful it is!
Greetings,
Ersin

You have some extremely amazing pictures!! This is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Thorsten,Superb macro shot!Great detalis,sharpness,colors and nice POV.TFS-Hilmi

Bonsoir Thorsten,

Impressionante de détail ... très très belle photo, félicitations.
En bien cherchant (!) la seule chose qui gêne est l'arrière plan qui perturbe un peu la lecture ... mais c'est réparable !

Hi Thorsten,
Wow, very sharp photo. The background is not terrible, but anyway, our eyes focus on the details of the insect and the white surface create a better contrast with the colors of it.
Regards, Francois

very nice picture. hard to get these guys to slow down. nice sharpness and very good depth of field. it does seem a bit dark and the white backround seems a bit dark. I posted a workshop with some suggestions.

Hi Thorsten!
You have done a wonderful job here of shooting an excellent image of this lovely dragonfly stuck in the windows at your work place. Bravo!
Superb POV, DOF, colours and sharpness. Every detail stands out clearly.
Well done and regards.

Hi Thorsten.-Otra bella imagen de esta Libelua con exelentes colores y gran definicion. La luz y contraste son muy buenos.
Saludos Luis52.

Hi Thorsten,
The details are nice, clear and sharp.
superb colours, lighting and exposure. The POV is good.
Well composed, great framing and excellent notes.
Thanks for posting, have a great week.

Brilliant composition. Brilliant colors. Crisp clear.
OK for the background: getting stuked in human constructions is part of daily life of bugs.

Another superb shot of the Southern Hawker
Thorsten. Having him land on the white paintwork emphasises his sharpness and colours. And look at his reflections too - great work, TFS

hola, preciosas las nuevas fotos. Muy buena la serie de arañas y libélulas como esta.

Hallo Thorsten,
ganz toll macht sich diese Libelle auf dem klinisch weissen Hintergrund. Farben, Schaerfe und bildgestaltung sind einwandfrei.
Gruss..Sky

netteté parfaite.

Hallo Thorsten,

Hi Thorsten,

die Libelle hast du klasse ewischt (ist es eine Mosaikjungfer?)

Nun ich bin neu hier und versuche mich etwas zurecht zu finden.
Komme aus dem Westerwald

Schönen Gruss Jörg
