Hello Horia!
What a nice company I have today in TN :> My picture next to Horia's :>

Congratulations because of your 21st! But if there are two sexes (sexual dimorphism is perfect visible), so manby it should be at least 21 and a half? ;>
Very nice collage and beautiful pictures: sharp, detailed, with good light and POVs.
By the way, maybe next Odonata picture will be from Croatia? ;)
Best greetings from Lodz!

Buna Horia,

Ne prezinti un colaj foarte bine facut atat tematic cat si estetic. Imaginile cu cele doua libelule sunt foarte bune cu o calritate deosebita si o foarte buna redare a culorilor.

TFS si toate cele bune,
Cristian

Hello Horia!

Two in one - it is too much for me :-) Both shots are very good. Clear and sharp, with green BG and colorfull insects. Both with almost same POV and pose. Good educational pictures showing very well sexual dimorphism.

Your todays post woke up me :-) My next will be new specie of D-fly :-)

Arg....I don't know how to critique this one...It looks like it should be seen through a stereoscopic device like I used to have 50 years ago...I think it is because in a way it almost resembles a quasi 3D image...not a bad thing...

Hello Horia,
Splendid presentation of the male and female of this beautiful species. I like your POV and their similar positions on the grasses. Great sharpness and lovely colours too. Well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Horia,
Both photos in this collage are so beautiful. Sharpness, details, colours and composition are amazing. Perfect POV's. And I like the symmetry.

Hi Horia,
how many dragons and damsels do you get in Romania?! You must have photographed at least 90% of them all! :-)
This is a splendid pair of shots.
Both photos are flawless.
Congrats on your 21st too :-)

Ah yes, classic Bogdon presentation here :o) And by that i mean pretty much perfect! They both compliment each other so well, and the slight symmetry of the leaves/grass they're sat on is nicely countered by their similar positions. Excellent exposure and DOF, as always. Very well done my friend!

Hi Horia,
What a great idea to show both sexes. I never knew that they are so different from eachother. I really learned something from this one. I really like that both are almost in a similar position which allow for even better comparison. Both are taken with great care and have wonderful details and colors. I am very impressed on your skill to have the perfect DOF.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Horia,
Two very good images. And I always underestimate your photos.
I'm sure I'll find them even better when I see them again in the future.
And that's a very sign as they are already very good.
I don't know whether that make sense to you, Horia:-)
In natural English: It's very beautiful;-)
TFS these athletes
