[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dragonflies and damselflies are very interesting insects having beautiful colors and special hunting habits. I, alloys, liked to observe them but I was not able to take a decent photo.

I was pleased to see on TN so many good photos with these insects. I decided to try photographing them too. This is one between my first photos with dragonflies. It was taken in Danube Delta where it was an abundance of these insects.

I was not able to identify the dragonfly so I would appreciate any help.

Salut Cristian

Foarte frumos close-up-ul tau ai asupra libelulei asteia.
Daca nu ma insel, cred ca e Sympetrum fonscolombii, o specie ceva mai rara pe la noi si deci felicitari pentru ca ai gasit-o.
Detaliile sunt foarte frumoase si excelent de clare. Imi place mult adancimea mica a campului vizual pe care ai folosit-o aici, care ti-a conferit un fundal uniform, frumos si in plus contrastant cu subiectul.
Una peste alta, o poza exceptionala!

Bravo si merci de postare
Horia

Ciao Cristian,
bellissima cattura, eccellenti POV e composizione in una classica postura della libellula con uno stupendo OOF BG chiaroscuro colorato, ottima definizione dei dettagli; IMHO utilizzando il treppiede avresti potuto utilizzare un tempo pił lungo e un diaframma pił chiuso per aumentare la DOF.
TFS.

Hi Cristian
I like the POV here - lateral POV with sharp abdomen and OOF tips of wings. Also nice homogenous background and good composition

Witaj Cristian,
niezwykle dobre zdjęcie ważki!!!
Nie tylko poza i ustawienie owada podoba mi się ale także kolory, ostrość detali i kadr - prosty a zarazem najlepszy.
Dziękuję i pozdrawiam

Hi Cristian.
First of all I am impressed with colorfulness and illumination of the BG and wonderful dragonfly. It is really great work of an amazing lens (and of course yours). I like superb DOF and level of sharpness of the twig and insect. Well done and TFS. Bravo.

Buna Cristian,

asa cum a spus si Horia este Sympetrum fonscolombii, un mascul tanar. peste cateva zile si-ar fi aratat adevaratele culori... eu o consider una dinre cele mai frumoase specii de la noi (masculul) -> un rosu foarte aprins, nevurile principale rosii, partea inferioara a ochilor mai albastra iar toracele rosu cu putin albastru (ca cel din ochi).

vreau maine sa vad daca nu o mai gasesc inca zburand ;)

TFS,
cosmln

hi Cristian,

Hello Cristian,
An excellent capture of a female S. fonscolombii taken from a fine POV with good focusing to make use of the shallow DOF. The lighting and BG help to show it up very well.
Thanks for sharing this beauty that is very rare in Sweden,
Regards,
Ivan

Not that there is one sharp picture Cristian! I haev seen numerous of these and your is right up there with the best of them..Congrats on the nice capture!
