Don't quote me, but I am pretty sure I have never seen this particular variety before and if so, then not in this light. Very good lighting for contrasts and tones..

Hi Peter,

Sharp and vivid snap, especially the hair on the abdomen part.

Apologies for the liberties, just tried to change its POV by rotating it a bit...hope you like it...

Hello Peter,
very nice shot, the details and the light are amazing. Great POV and wonderful blurred BG so this Dragonfly stand out very well. A beautiful composed macro and very nice framing that complements the photo so well.
Best regards Siggi

Hello Peter,
Wonderful capture of L. quadrimaculata, a well-coloured young individual taken from a fine POV to show its features with good clarity against the OOF natural BG.
Time to look for them here now!
Thanks and best regards,

Hello Peter,
an outstanding picture of the dragonfly standing out very clearly in spite of the structured but
sufficiently blurred background. This is due to the narrow depth of field by selecting f/5.6.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Peter,

No dragnonflies here yet! I'm not sure I've seen this one before. You captured this one in a fantastic position with the four vertical wings and the horizontal body. The brown and gold colors are wonderful; details of the wings, body and head are excellent. This Chaser jumps out from the blurred background.

Hi Peter,
this dragonfly is so lovely in clarity and sharpness. I loke the view as it gives a special effect, very graphical.
The blurry background allows the wings to be seen in great details.
Well composed and nice presentation.

Regards,
Foozi

Hallo Peter
Thanks for your kind note left at my marmoset image. It is much appreciated. This image of the Four spotted chaser strongly reminds me of a scene in a merry go round. Why, I really cannot say. In my personal opinion the atmosphere captured surrounding this insect is very jolly and lively. It might be the blurred dried grasses in the background that makes it an ideal backdrop. The insect itself is lovely to look at with great focus and sharpness. Details captured are great, especially the patterns and textures of the glassy almost see through wings. It was lovely to look at this full of life image. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.
