Hola Ulla,
La toma tiene buena nitidez, color y muy buena luz, quiza el fondo tiene mucho protagonismo. Un saludo

Hello Ulla,

This is a very atractive darter with its red and black pattern. Lovely details, not only of its body but also, of its gossamer wings.
Nicely composed, giving plenty of space around it and with a diagonal position.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Ulla,
Perhaps not the most attractive BG, but sometimes you must shoot them where you find them..The composition does have the grassy elements above the dragon to provide a break.
The dragon is nice & sharp with great detail, colors, DOF, and exposure.
Well done & TFS!

A lovely capture of this white faced darter. We can see a glimpse of its white face too even in top POV. Excellent parallel pose. Very good composition and sharp details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Your Northern White-faced Darter was lucky you didn't step on it, Ulla. So this is the start of a couple of hundred more dragonfly photos coming up now on TN?
Very good sharpness and colours - it is lovely to see

Hi Ulla,
Wonderful shot of this dragonfly enjoying the cool sand. Very neat and sharp image with nice colours and perfect illumination. Not the best BG but you show a great perspective and behaviour here. The top POV works well here and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

A fine specimen photographed expertly in detail from a good vertical viewpoint Ulla, a little unfortunate the close proximity of the noisy BG disrupted the venation details of the wings a little, but sometimes you can not escape from such mishaps...

Hi Ulla, this isn't the best background to catch this Darter, but sometimes you take what you can get. It still turned out very well, with very good sharp definition seen on the veins on those wings, and the rest of the body. Colour is very good, with great depth of field to give good overall clarity of the Darter.

Thanks, John

How did I miss this one...The darter is one of my favorites and the colours mixed with the grains of sand are a perfect backdrop. You do know how to look down well as I do. Many are "looker-uppers"...I get a dizzy problem doing so...but in the car it is OK...I feel almost as cheating when I take a good image from my car...and my feet. You would not believe how hard it is to drive a clutch shift with numbness in the feet...I must appear drunk:-) Great show Ulla and my apologies for missing it first off!
