Hello Jaap,

Very nice picture of this dragonfly. Excellent sharpness and great colours. I saw a lot of them today but what you wrote about them is right and I try to imagine how it will be possible to capture them for me with my little compact camera. A new challenge to me.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Jaap,
Outstanding shot of this dragonfly with very impressive sharpness, colours and details. Nice profile view and you have captured it in a classical pose. Superb lighting and exposure with a precise DOF isolating the subjects from the BG perfectly well. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hallo Jaap,

Ook een mooie opname van een Libel, door het mooie weer komen er nu toch vrij veel soorten voor.
Deze is goed van scherpte met een mooie dof.

Hello Jaap,
the exact focus on the dragonfly's body and wing bases largely contributes to the attactivity of this picture.
Well selected point of view, pleasant light and colours result in a well composed presentation.
Best wishes, Peter

Hallo Jaap,
Om de een of andere reden heb ik veel van je foto's gemist. Onbegrijpelijk, want bij het doorbladeren vond ik de ene opname nog mooier dan de andere. Grote klasse! Ik hoop er nog wat van goed te maken. Te beginnen bij deze foto. Wat een fantastische scherpte en kleuren.
Groet,
Peter

Hi Jaap,
Heb ze hier al zien vliegen, maar helaas nog geen een kunnen vastleggen.
Deze staat er goed op. Goed compo en pov en de scherpte is zeer goed.

Hi dear Jaap,
I don't understand how you can capture those creatures; I never succeed doing it. I'm amazed that you could use 1/40 sec, this is stunning! Colors and composition are very agreeable to look at. Thanks and greetings,

Hi Jaap
Very happy to see you also on TN ! Il like this macroshot. The DOF is really low here. Perhaps yo need a macroflash to increase the possiblity to use an higrer f-stop
Cheers
