Hi Ulla,
Perfect capture of your first damselfly. I have not seen them in Holland yet, but it will not be for long I think.
The composition and pov are great. Also very good focus/sharpness on the entire damselfly. Great colours and light.

Hello Ulla,
you achieved a very good contrast and differnetiation between fore- and background.
The 'main players' are presented well focused and with high sharpness while the background
structures are sufficiently blurred and constitute a smooth non-noisy contrast.
The details of the damselfly are nicely visible as are the leaf surfaces.
A brilliant and well-composed picture.
Best wishes,
Peter
P.S. In the last weeks I had not so much time to visit TN. But nevertheless, I tried to contribute pcitures and sporadic comments.

As compared to some of you more delicate flowers...this one is fine needlepoint alike...Sharp very sharp...which is something beyond my present capability in photos..at least my eye and combined with my mediocre lens....but it's okay because we have good folk like you to show us closer and more clearly..well done Ulla!

Hello Ulla
I'm really pleased to see this marvellous specimen so perfectly captured. The sharp details are really amazing and beautiful. I like a lot the framing and composition and the dulled bg. The light and details on the leaves are also superb.
Thank you very much for sharing.

Allow me to cangratulate you on your 401st. :)
No need to say that I appreciate very much your valuable contribution to this site, thank you.
You chose a beautiful capture for your 401st. post on this site, what I like most is the natural colours and the clearness all over the body showing perfect and shinny details.
Best regards, Felipe.

Hello Ulla

Very nice picture of this Large Red Damselfly. Looks like a male. Apart from the abdomenal appendage you can know the femal on the black stripe running all the way on top of the abdomen. I think it is a young male as the colours are not really deep red yet. I have not seen any here yet but they will come soon.

Apart from that it is a very nice picture. the handling of light and focus is perfect with plenty of details all over the damselfly and a well blurred background to set it off nicely. Not to forget the perfect composition - I do like the diagonal very much as well as the space in front of the damselfly.

All over a very nice job that you can be proud of.

Hi Ulla

Sorry I missed out on #400, but can I make up by congratulating you on #401 (chuckle)? The choice for "On the Post" was spot-on for a great milestone. May there still be many more.

This is a wonderful capture of a beautiful Large Red. We will miss the birds, but I am sure you will keep us happy with the D&D postings. With this kind of quality, who will complain? I like the diagonal position of the damsel, the amazing details, the superb colour tones, the great DOF, the OOF and isolated BG, and the simplicity of the shot which only shows the subject and the leaves which it perched on.

Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Ulla,
A razor sharp "damsel" image on equally detailed tiny leaves which provide a nice color contrast, all against a blurry BG, framed within a vertical composition. A pure beauty my friend.
Cheers,
