Hi Horia,
The battle goes on ;) It's fantastic. Eyes like rubys. Very good POV and details. Well done!

Hello Horia,
A very fine macro of E. viridulum with excellent technical and aesthetic qualities, especially the composition, sharpness and lighting.
This is a species that I would very much like to photograph in my area where it occurs but I have not found it yet.
Tfs this beauty,
All the best,
Ivan

Ciao Horia,
splendida macro, molto bella la composizione diagonale con la damigella inserita fra le due foglie, eccellenti POV e DOF, straordinaria definizione dei dettagli, bellissima luminosità.

Hello Horia!

Very good :-) Number 17, younger brother of mine red eyed Erythromma looks excellent. I'm also glad because I can ID this specie - I'm learning much about d-flies last days. Perfectly sharp and colorfull, nice deails on body and wings.

Thanks for your kind words my friend - I'll try to send few new species. And maybe I'll use my secret weapon... I hoped to use it today, but unfortunatelly it rains heavilly... Good luck in Croatia, I'm sure you won't waste your time and capture many interesting species!

BTW my next post will be with something big, not only in name :-)

Wonderful, sharp exposure and excellent details.
The image is perfectly placed in the frame for a good, diagonal composition.

Kind regards,

Hello Horia,
Well done again. I guess you are right on track for gold in your competition.
You applied sharpening very well as this is a rather subtle insect. Furtheron composition-wise I like the diagonal you draw with your dragonfly. You are the undoubtedly the Phelps in the discipline 'flying with dragons':-)

Hi Horia,
Its brilliant capture, good colors, details and background. corner to corner placement of the dragon fly is great. but edge to edge could have been avoided, bit more space would have been a great. tfs.

I think your challenge sounds like fun. Of course I personally would not be able to identify a single dragonfly but I certainly appreciate the fact that you can! You'll be able to put together a book by the end of the year!

This is another nice sharp full frame image with good color.

Hi Horia,
Outstanding shot of this elegant damselfly which looks so lean and so colourful. That red eye stand out. Very neat and sharp image with perfect lighting and DOF. The competition is hotting up day by day and I for one is enjoying every post of it. Great idea and you both are making it grand now. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
