[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the same afternoon I have made the previous photo with the Sympetrum dragonfly I have observed a differently colored one. It had the same behaviour, coming and going from the same perch.

I placed the monopode in order to get a reasonable POV and took some photos. This is one I considered to be the best.


Unfortunately I am not able to identify it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Cristian
I am afraid that I cant tell you the species of this Dragon but the colour change could be a male or female?
Very good use of the monopod to capture this..The dof is spot on giving a really good perspective over the wings..the body is naturally sharp.
All the Best
Paul

hi Cristian,

Good composition and razor sharp.
Very nice pov, dof and bg.

Hi Cris,the point of view make a difference,wonderfuls details (in particular of the eyes) and greats colors,i like a lot the colors of background,my best compliments,Luciano

Excellent work, Cristian, through this impressive light. Probably the capture time is late afternoon as the light is very moody.
Secondly the focus is great as well as the depth of field.
Well done overall
Thanks
Annick

Hello Christian

An excellent level POV for this dragonfly.
The DOF is well done,and the dragonfly is well focused and stands out from the OOF BG well.
The colours are terrific.
The composition is eye pleasing.
Nice job.
TFS

Ouch! That is sharp..I think when one gets down to this particular level or macro level, then both Nikon and Canon do well as long as the person behind the camera knows what they are doing which you obviously did here...Kind of neat the way the insect blends into the perch...almost a subtle one so much it becomes one with nature...
