[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The last one in the series of the dragonfly (common darter as I have learned here) on the pole. I like this one especially for the structure of the wings.
The composition with the wings positioned as a cross and the spots at the wingtips also appeals to me.

I postprocessed as usual with Levels and USM and I played around to get more contrast between the wings and the background.

Are you sure this is a pole - It looks to me like he is sipping a chocolate milkshake from a straw. I love the wings in this shot, the detail on them is excellent. Thanks for posting

Composition superb lighting aslo very nice.there are some nice underbody details also viewed here. small nit shame the end of the tail is OOF, but very smallone.

Photo's verging on the bright side, especially the tail end (selective saturation, maybe?), otherwise a very good capture. It looks as if it's resting its chin on its "hands" ;-))

Lovely crisp shot of this dragon. The colors are very delicate throughout the image and suit this ode well. It looks like it is actually posing as a person would for a portrait with it's head resting on the stick...great capture, Jan.

Jan, een beetje jammer dat dit de laatste uit de reeks is, want het zijn juweeltjes, hier heb ik reeds veel geleerd, volgende week heb ik, mijn 100mmUSM lens. Laat maar uw volgende reeks zien.

Very nice one of the wings, Jan. The detal is clear. I like the POV. Thanx for sharing.

Superb, a very clear picture with very good details, a beautiful framing also, well considering.
