Hello Horia,
well composed and well designed, just a very attractive picture to show the beauty of
this damselfly couple. Focus is precise and colours of the insects and of the background
are well reproduced.
Best wishes, Peter

Buna Horia,

Ai realizat o fotografie cu superbe culori in lumina existenta. Intensitatea culorii albastre mi se pare deosebita. Libelulele sunt extrem de clar prezentate fiind vizibile cele mai fine detalii. Fundalul neclar vine sa accentueze claritatea subiectului principal.

TFS si toate cele bune,
Cristian

Hi Horia!

Let's make love and... draw a heart! Doesn't it look like one drawn by a child's hand? It's marvellous, and it's such a good feeling to discover every day the beauties our nature offers us. Your picture is delicate and humerous at the same time, and, moreover, very instructive. Only few people can do all this in one posting...

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Horia,
Good work again. No problems:-)
You blurred Greg very well in the background:-))
A subtle image through the content and the perch. As always you added a beautiful compo.
Finally a neat presentation.
Well done!

It has a slight appearance of a heart..so Ia dded to two themes...Very nicely done Horia...Luciano is also doing quite a series in this manner with different insects...but the blue in this is one of my favorite shades of blue...a mix of my baby blue and a Wedgwood blue...so you have perfect timing in geometry and colour.

Hello Horia!

What a surprise, another damselfly :-) Good to see next specie in your list. Well captured moment, both insects are sharp and detailed, DOF is very good. Heart composition looks nice, your white border is also very suitable for this picture. Good work and interesting subject!

I was on longer walk today and probably catched new species, too :-)

Hello Horia, Lovely shot. I tried to shoot something similar yday but unfortunately my focus was more on to the lower damselfly and not on the top. How to take such a focus in taking such pictures. I failed but still I will post. Since you have taken this so beautifully what steps should one take. Sorry more questions but this just marvellous shot of the mating damselfly. Ganesh

Horia, this is outstanding! Excellent low POV, side view, and composition; brilliant, yet natural color, great DOF and natural background. You got the exposure just right also!

Hi Horia.
Two amazing damselflies have created an brilliant composition which have been pictured by you with highest skill. Terrific exactness of colours and other fine details of the insects. I like wonderful reproduction of the stem and flower too. BG is wonderful by colouration and smoothness. Have you worked on BG smoothness? Or is it natural? Sometime my lens produces a bit distractive BG depending of its content. Perfect job.
Alexei.

Hi Horia,
The classic love pose, and not only because they are actually making love but also because of the sign they've created. The sense of love is even made stronger by the slightly pink colored BG. All in all a wonderful super sharp photo with a pefect clean BG.
TFS,
Niek
