Very good photo of this Odonata Harm!
Excellent on details!
Very good POV and DOF!
A bit soft on focus espcially on the wings, but still a great shot!
TFS!
Good capture with clear details.
Hi Harm,
your dragonflies are always so amazing, I wonder where you find all these beautiful insects. This one is so pretty with it's blue eyes, a little overexposed, anyway a wonderful dragonfly, thanks
