[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After many attempts I managed to photorgraph a dragon fly and used flash for the first time in macro. I am not entirely happy with the results, but at least it's a start. Hope to do better next time

Hi Mark.
I agree with firelords comment.
good job, regards
Matt.

You have made an impressive beginning, Mark.
The portion in focus is sharp, clear and perfect in details.
I remember my first and last dragonfly; the frisky fellow wouldn't sit still even for a couple of seconds.

Hi Mark,

Very nice subject. A hard one because it's always in motion. You capture it very well. The focus is great. The only thing that disturb me is that the wings are cut and so is the tail. It would have been better to see the whole dragonfly. Good work.

Martin.

Hllo Mark, I think you can use a bigger number for the aperture. To have more color contrast. Nice try. I am looking forward to see your next dragonfly! Well done and TFS. Gabriel

Hi Mark
I like especially the colours and the global look.
