Helo Greg !
Congratulations on your first Dragonfly this year ! It's such a beautiful one ! I love all the details you managed to capture, but I also like the natural colors, the composition, the POV from the top and the typical pose of he insect. This Botanic Garden must really be a fantastic place, judging by al the wonderful pictures you have taken there.
Greetings from France,
Valérie.

Hello Grzegorz,
I also spend about five hours in the Botanic Garden... But you are lucky to find a beautiful dragonfly. I did not see any... The light is very beautiful and details very well captured. A great shot! Cheers,
Catherine

Hi Greg,
I love what you were able to do with the wings... make them shiny without overexposing them... showing their translucence and delicacy.
The light and shadows on the wings give them so much texture and three-dimensionality.
Perfect pose of your subject and excellent sharpness throughout, not to mention a beautiful BG.
TFS this outstanding image. : )

Super Greg!
This is a nice clear shot of the East Finchley Platypus in its mating plumage.
I love the light glistening in its feathers.
Excellent detail and sharpness.
Jolly good wonk!

Hi Greg

Congrats for your first d-fly of the year! I wish you many more to come :)
Interestingly, despite the fact that i already found about 15 species at my thermal lake this year, Libelulla quadrimaculata wasn't among them :) ...different area, different setting i guess.
This is a very nice shot, clear and with a good DOF that isolates the subject from the BG. I'm a bit surprised that you still shot this one with the 70-300 Sigma and not with your new true macro lens...but i guess it takes a little bit of getting used to.
I gave my 70-300 to a dear friend so i think that even if it were easier for me with it, i had to get used to my new 150 one soon and i've only been shooting with it all this season.
Anyway, again Bravo for this lovely shot and keep it coming. Even if i'm not posting/critiquing that much, i'm still watching ;)

With those reflections in the wing membranes, this is one of the best d.fly close ups I've ever seen Grzegorz, the dorsal viewpoint kept the whole d.fly within the shallow DOF, producing a pin-sharp image, even the haemolymph bubbles in the anterior abdomen are visible! TFS this fine image my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Hi Greg,
A nice capture of this beautiful four spotted chaser. No outing now a days for me due to heavy work load and also for temperature around 45DegCel. Very good sharp details and a nice composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Greg,
What a beauty! The clear colours are amazing and the sharpness and details more than excellent! And that all against a very beautiful soft BG. Great composition and POV.

Hallo Greg
This is a lovely close to the eye image of this Four-spotted Chaser. The details are super sharp and well portrayed. I love the centered composition, as well as the clarity of the fine hairs on the body. It is the 1st time I have seen the fine body hairs so close and clear. The wide opened wings are beautiful and your photography brings out the lovely textures and patterns to its best. The shine captured on the large eyes is eye-catching. Thanks for sharing this delightful image.
Best regards
Anna
