Dag Tueni,

Wij zitten samen te kijken naar deze buitengewone mooie Libelle, mag ik mijn mening zeggen, wel Jaap zet uw beste beetje voor want uw vrouw pakt er niet naast, dit is top klasse, mijn man wacht op zijn eerste geslaagde Libelle, ik denk wanneer hij er eentje kan fotograferen, hij gelukkig zal zijn.
Hartelijke groeten,

Jenny vrouw van John.

Hi Teunie,
woooooow - you were soooo lucky to see this one so early in the year, I love that shot.
Your POV is wonderful, the dragon seems to be gigantic - like an helicopter - amazing work, thanks and greetings

Hoi Teunie,
Dit vind ik gaaf. Een insect zo weten te fotograferen is erg bijzonder en origineel. Al die macro's en close-ups zijn niet vergeleken met dit. Juist het laten zien van de omgeving is belangrijk en ook mooi.
Groetjes,
Niek

bonjour teunie
j'aime particulierement le point de vue mais je trouve dommage que le BG ne soit pas flou.
bonne netteté sur la libellule.

Hi Teunie,
Dit is een bijzondere compositie. Zeker een heel ander standpunt dan die je op TN gebruikelijk ziet.
Prachtige kleuren en goede focus.

Hi Teunie.
I love your extremely impressive dragonfly picture. I am impresses with phenomenal POV and exposure parameters and, first of all, aperture value. DOF is really great as well as the details and beautifulness of the BG. I like crisp sharpness and rich colours of the dragonfly, amazing composition and cropping of the shot, pictorial scenery. Bravo and my best wishes.
Alexei.

Hi Teunie

This is a splendid shot of this dragonfly, and a very specieal one, too. I think this is one of the shots that show part of the habitat better than most i've seen so far.
Of course, the fact that the BG is not completely blurred here is a bit dtstracting, but i, as a biologist, apreciate the harmony between the animal and the environment.
Other than that, the colors everywhere are most charming, the details are nice, the exposure is spot-on and the composition excellent.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Teunie,
Much obliged for your visit and kind critique on my recent picture of a dragonfly.
My God, this is a mind-blowing perspective you have adopted to shoot this dragonfly! It looks like a giant bird from a sci-fi movie such as the Jurassic Park!
Thanks for sharing this unusual capture.
Best regards,
Ram

Hi Teunie

Wow, what an attractive shot, showing this dragonfly with full view of its natural surrounding habitat. This is a POV we seldom see on TN, because most of us normally tend to zoom right in for an inclusive macro thereby trying to obtain the optimum OOF or isolated BG. This however is a great shot with the focus rather being exclusive and to zoom right out.

Although the BG is a little busy with all those branches and vegetation one can still clearly distinguish the insect. The focus is very sharp while showing excellent details on the wings and the colours are just great. You also managed to capture some great light on the subject.

Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hello Teunie
I can't believe the DoF you have managed to get in this shot.What an excellent POV!!!!
And even after managing and balancing all that, you got the subject to nicely fill the frame.
Super macro shot with superb BG.
Very well done.
TFS & Cheers

Unusual point of view of this female L. depressa. An interesting and very good capture! Sharp details and nice colours. Only I found the background a bit distracting but it gives a nice feeling of summer.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

An interesting presentation of dragonfly in natural surroundings. I usually strive to get a completely blurred background, but it is nice to occasionaly see the environment of this species. Great POV.

a very different kind of presentation! Showing the dragon fly imbedded in its richly structured, brightly lighted place of living looks very powerful, informing, and inviting. Thank you!

The pov makes the very common picture look unique and charmingly beautiful. I love the combinateion of colours, specially the blue of the clear sky. The gree goes well too.
