Hello Horia,
a fine picture and an interesting note, too. Besides the technical quality, I like
the natural setting ... you feel like being in the habitat.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Horia
I am glad to see another picture from you. Selen also came back on TN in the last time. Every day there is less good photos to comment and to critique Most of the best photographers has left TN (Ulla, Joe, Howard, Gert, Evellyn, Necip, Paul and many others)

As for the photo I like low POV and blured background and foreground. Main object is sharp and the surrounding is natural and interesting I am waiting for more
Best wishes
Krzysztof

Hello Horia,
Fantastic photo in very clear light. (Superb clarity). I can see almost every detail in body and wings and like the low POV. Beautiful natural surroundings.
Hope to see a lot more of your work.
Regards,
Peter

Well, if you're going to post, then so am i :o) Great to see something from you mate, you inspired me to put something on here too! I think what inmpresses me most about this shot, is the very precise narrow DOF, thats isloted this great specimen beautifully. Great low POV and well composed - great job, of course.
Have to say i miss the golden days of Treknature..

Hello Horia,
Very interesting shot, with a good sharpness and even a nice reflection of the dragonfly. Very good result despite difficult conditions. Best regards,
Catherine

Hello Horia
First of all I am so pleased to hear that your thermal pond has already produced 11 species of Dragons this year already.
Now for your picture, Your new lense is a fine and sharp one, but I cant in my mind decide if your focus is spot on or not, I know with a macro lense there is a tendency to hit the high f stops which can with carefull user input increase sharpness,
Although I believe in this case the subject is a tad over exposed masking the sharpness you have captured, I have found that using the shadow highlight tool in photoshop is very usefull to correct this even after converting the original raw file.
All the Best to you
Billy
ps..Nori has filled troys seat admirably!

Hi Lucky Man!

Good to see new picture from you, my friend. I'm stunned - 11 species??? You've got real d-flies goldmine in your place. I'm in Botanical Garden almost every day waiting for first d-flies but still without any success. It's too early.

Picture looks great. Big and colorfull insect in typical pose during laying eggs. I like blue sky reflected in water, too.

So, looks like it's 11:0 for you ;-)

hello Horia,
I just see this picture, which strikes me for its magnificent colors (I'm more attracted by colors than by perfect sharpness) The subject, of course is interesting too. And I like the way you show this scene, with quite a lot of space, showing the environment. Well seen! And what concerns your thoughts about TN. We just have to be positive now, it's not always perfect, but I thnk that the Nature Archive which TN builts is worth every interesting contribution. The comments of people are secundary..
Mes amitiés

Hello Horia, nice low POV and shallow DOF. Good choice of lighting direction, I can see the reflection of the fly's wings on its body. And of course good natural colors.

Buna Horia
Felcitari pt aceasta fotografie si fain de tine ca ai langa casa acele ape termale care fac ca natura sa prinda viata mai repede.
Despre fotografie, faina ca de obicei, si asta nu o zic ca sa te perii, se cunoaste ca ai experienta in a fotografia aceste insecte si , nu m-am apucat de comparat fotografiile tale cu ale unor incepatori, dar sigur sunt diferente.
Frumos, mie imi place!
Numai bine, Oana
