Excellent work Horia!
Perfect point of focus with F/8 the best choice providing complete DOF.
Very nice light, colors, BG, comp, and sharp details..
I've never used my CP in macros..perhaps I'll give it a go.
Love dem wings too :)

Hi Horia.
You were back with splendid shot of an amazing dragonfly. I am very glad to see it. I think image is simply outstanding. However, I am interested why you prefer this lens for large insect shooting. I like inclined composition of the shot, blameless framing and great sharpness/details together with superb lights and colours. Well done and TFS. I hope in September all will be OK.

Hello Horia,
Nice to see you back in action on TN! I hope that you have a good interlude before embarking on your PhD and can keep in touch with us too.
This capture of a female B. pratense is perfect technically and is excellently composed with a fine bokeh and the lighting is just right. In fact there is nothing wrong with this image at all! You inspire me to post my image of a male with the wings out but technically it is not as good as this so it will have to wait.
Thanks for sharing this beauty, my friend.
Best wishes, Ivan

Wow! What a stocky dragonfly! :-)
These are supposed to be spreading quite rapidly here though I've yet to find one!
Let alone get a shot as fantastic as this!!
You got completely parallel to the dragonfly, thus giving us the best view possible and making the most of the DOF which in turn has allowed the BG to be completely blurred! :-)
Very, very sharp and incredibly detailed.
Excellent lighting and colours.
Superb composition.

One of your best, Horia!

Very well done,
Joe

Hi Horia,
This is sharp and with some superb colours and intimacy.I love the side PoV that you have used to cpature this dragon fly.This is unusual and quite interesting eyt one is able to see the eye of the subject quite clearly.

Amazing colours, sharpness and clarity.THe Green BG looks fabulous setting off the dragonfly very well against the BG.The brown gossamer wings look wonderful with great focus, clarity and sharpness.

TFS & Cheers
