Salut Razvan,Na ca astazi suntem "vecini". Excelenta captura ta.
Tu si prietena mea ce mai surprindeti asa ceva. Si ea a prins vreo doua exemplare in Croatia. De mine ... nu s-a "lipit" nici unul.
Iti doresc o zi frumoasa si un weekend frumos,
Adrian

Hi Razvan,

Great macro shot of the dragonfly with so beautiful colors. The sharpness and POV are perfect with nice use of shallow DOF. There is a great contrast between the colors of the dragonfly and the color tones of blurred BG. Well done.

thanks and regards,

This is very beautiful picture Razvan! Clarity, DOF and sharpness are 1st class, it is a great pleasure to watch photos like this one.
The only correction I have is the English name, as this species in known as Broad Scarlet :>
By the way, here I presented a male specimen of this species some time ago. If you like, please feel free to look at it :>
