Hello,
today I decided to show you a close-up shot of the impressive eyes of a dragonflied I already had here some weeks ago.
It's a downy emerald (Cordulia aenea) German: Falkenlibelle.
You can see her also here.

I love the rainbow-colours of the eyes.
And when this dragon flies around in the sunlight than you think there's a peace of gold and diamonds flying around, the body is glittering so nice.

Thanks for looking, enjoy your sunday.

Hi Sabine

This is indeed much more than a simple close-up! I really love the dimm light here and the effect it creates on the face and eyes of this beautiful dragonfly. It also makes the picture look much more moody and, together with the darker BG, makes such an amazing atmospherearound the entire photo. I think it can be used as a poster for some sort of a horror film.... :))))
Anyway, the picture is remarkable, with lovely colors and impressive sharpness.
Great work!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Sabine,
Wow, what a monster with two big and two small eyes and unshaven as well!! I wouldn't want to meet him in the dark! - Amazing macro showing such sharp details and incredible colours of the eyes. Interesting and fun rather than beautiful! Very well done!
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Powerful indeed, Sabine!
The use of flash to illuminate this close macro of the head of Cordulia aenia is just right to produce good colours without too much reflection. Excellent sharpness, details and composition.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Sabine.
I like your next terrific true macro picture. Skillfulness of the reproduction of the dragonfly's eyes impresses the imagination. Dark key of execution of the subject I perfect. Colour palette are so rich and wonderful. I don’t speak about details. They are superb. Great impressive macro. Bravo and TFS.

Hello Sabine wow this is so close good detail and nice colour the contrast is great very sharp tfs rgds Necip.

Hi Sabine,
This is very beautiful. The rainbow colors you captured in the eye make the libelle look completely different from seeing it for real. What I find really impressive is that you gave the face a kind of human expression.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Sabine,
Wonderful intensity :)
I think what I like most is how you've managed the flash, with very minimum reflection. The brassy colors and segmentation is well seen..Excellent details,
Very Well Done!
Howard

Hello Sabine,
I like your so poetic notes! You really like those insects don't you? This is an impressive capture! It is not that often that we can admire those amazing eyes from so close. Details are beautiful and so are those colors and DOF. Congrats!
