Hi Ulla,
a wonderful dragon and in excellent quality, I love it. I had the luck to see the same one last weekend. At the end I were inside the lake with my shoes and the trouser, but that doesn't matter when you can make a good shot and enjoy the moment - but not so after the shot - walking with wet feet, brrrrr!
Many greetings

Hi Ulla. This must be one of the best shots of a Dragonfly I have seen. Your sharp focusing and detail is first class. Good natural colours helped by the light. with a Nice POV/DOF. very well done TFS. with interesting notes too.

Hello Ulla,
specific light, particular colours and specific background result in a peculiar presentation of the dragonfly.
The fine and delicate nuances are underlined by these particular 'factors'.
Differs from most other dragonly pictures by the 'atmosphere' which is very attractive!
Best wishes, Peter

These are a lot commoner here than last year! I saw 1 last year while now I've seen over 20 already!
This is a superb and unique capture, Ulla.
Really artistic presentation.
Great composition and POV.
The curve of the plant sets this off really well.

Excellent!!

Cheers,
Joe

It's the design Ulla...The patterns within the design to be more precise...and my vision of your eyes notion of those patterns, none of which can compare to being there at the moment..Life is so much like being in the moment...my good Buddhist friend used to tell em that music is nothing until it is performed...live and heard..otherwise it is ink on paper or thoughts in neurons...but images are the only way we as photographers can communicate our perception...and it works...and it works well here for you...

Nice catch Ulla.
Great detail/DOF, color, and light with the subject well seen from this dark BG. I like your composition also.
I've made only one trip to the river this season with pitiful results.
I did see a dragonfly this morning exhibiting some interesting behavior. It circled my pond then repeatedly hit the same spot on the waters surface making a small splash..Did this about 10 times then took-off. Anyway :)
Well done!

Hi Ulla,
A nice composition of the common chaser.Good details and excellent sharpness ...I like the way those wings shimmer in light as if dusted with little specks of gold...the lone perch adds a totally different dimension to the composition... i wonder how did you manage this BG ...very interesting ..Thanks for sharing this beauty..

We are seeing a lot of Chasers from Europe these days, Ulla, and it is a Dragonfly with a personality, indeed.
Your picture of a Common Chaser is brilliant.
The shape of the dry leaf on which the Chaser is perched makes an equal contribution to making this image highly artistic and the plain dark BG complements the composition.
Thanks and regards.

Hi Ulla!

I like this picture mainly because of the high artistic aspect. The shape of the leaf is marvellous, the composition excellent. Moreover, the dark background highlights the Chaser very well and shows the rich details. I also appreciate the colour tones very much.

Kind regards
