That's a beauty my friend, classic Bogdanesque photography! Wonderful details, perfect DOF and of course, interesting subject too! I really like the catchlight in the wings especially.

Let's the game continue! ;)
Yes, your friendly olimpics is very good idea for all TN members! Thanks to your tournament we will be able to learn a lot about European (at least Easteuropean ;>) Odonata species.
According to the picture I must say that this is a species not seen by me in the wild till now. So additional point for this unuque photo :>
Quality is very good (as always... ;>), and note includes a lot iof interesting data about species.

By the way, finally I have a littel more time, so soon your dragonfly pictures will be included in the PES gallery :)

And what to add at the end? Maybe - I hope to see more and more Odonata species on your pictures, maybe the next one from Croatia? ;)

All the best from cloudy Lodz!

Hi Horia!

Good to see you on the ring again :-)

I must say this is one of most beautifull European species. Maybe not so colorfull like some kinds of Aeshae, but for sure very nice one. Combination of yellow and black colours is great and those emerald eyes! I've never seen this specie and now I want to see one :-) Congratulations for splendit picture my friend!

Hi Horia!

As usually, it's an eye candy... I can't get enough of this friendly competition that allows us the be confronted with spectacular pictures in the best quality. Also this one is an outstanding one and distinguishes itself by marvellous details and colours. At first, I had to get accustomed to the very symmetrical composition. But in fact the symmetrical body of the insect invites for this composition.

Kind regards

Markus

What a pretty dragonfly!
Excellent lighting and colours.
Great sharpness and detail too.
You've posted a lot of species so far! We seem to be lacking in insects of all types this year.

Anyway, great work Horia, looking forward to more new species :-)

Cheers mate,

Hi Horia,
You and Greg are enriching the gallery of TN a lot these days. The collection you guys show us is of a very high value to all of us. You not only collect them but also capture them in a high level when it comes to photography. Love the composition, colors and detials in the tail and body. It is a small pitty that the head is slighty OOF.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Horia,
How marvellous to be able to photograph this species of Cordulogaster, C. bidentata. You did it so well with good sharpness, from a fine POV against a great BG and set it in a perfect composition.
A nice one to match Greg's repertoire!
Thanks for sharing this beauty, especially as we don't have it in Sweden!
Cheers,
Ivan

Hi Horia.
First-class BG for this amazing specimen. Amazing colour pattern and smoothness. The main subject – charming insect – is reproduced terrifically. Superb colours and details. Sharpness of the dragonfly image is razor. POV and symmetrical composition are so attractive too. Nice great job from you, my friend. Bravo.
Alexei.
