[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
With the temperature already in the high 30s, dragonflies have become very active and abundant. The Trithemis Annulata I posted here was captured in its typical pose which also gives it the english name of Violet Dropwing Dragonfly.
It is also called Purple Brushed Darter - Purple Marked Darter - Violet Marked Darter and Purple Blushed Darter.
All these different names were found on different insect sites.

What a beauty, Mark!
You have captured it in the most interesting posture as if taking a bow, as you rightly titled it.
Fantastic perspective, DOF, sharpness and colours. One of the best images of odonata I have seen on the TN.

Hello Mark!
A beautiful shot! Great pov and very good bg! I like the pose of the dragon a loT! It seems that it is looking at you! Great colours! Focusing, sharpness all are spot on! Thank you!

Hi Mark,
this is wonderful. I love the POV, the dragonfly seems to curve with the grass. Details and sharpness are very nice. Well done.

Mi Mark,
the rather unusual pose and the exquisite colours make this shot unique. The rhythmical background adds to the unusual, artistic appeal of your contribution. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Bonjour,
