I feel this huge Chaser is the strongest of all the Dragonflies in the world, Gert. It looks so healthy and full of vitality in your superb picture of it.
Your expertise as an ace nature photographer is more than manifest in this super shot.
Are your wrists getting better? Take care.

Super job Gert,
The clarity & detail is excellent.
Very good POV, DOF, color, and light.
This beauty stands out very well in your frame also..
I see we're using the same Sigma 150mm now :)
It is a bit faster at F/2.8 than than the 180mm.

Hi Gert,

I don't think I will ever be able to tell one dragonfly from another. We rarely see them here. Another outstanding macro with the sharpest of details. Beautiful colors and a good pose showing off those magnificent wings.

Hej Gert,
Excellent capture of Fyrfläckad Trollslända. You achieved a fine DOF from this POV to show excellent sharpness and detail.
Most of ours have become faded and old before their time because of the heat but there are still some fresh ones like this one.
TFS this fine image,
Hälsningar,

Wow! Superb shot!!
Very good composition and POV.
Brilliant sharpness and detail.
Excellent DOF too.
Great light.

Really well done, Gert!

Cheers,
Joe

p.s congrats on your new lens!! :-) I am wondering why you replaced the 180 with the 150 though? Probably a very good reason that I'm just not aware of :-)

Hello Gert,
I have always read in TN that you are a great proponent of tripods especially in macro photography and this is yet another of those moments.And i admit that you lead by example ...using tripod and always showing to us its results that are stunningly razor sharp, and with excellent focus and colours in every little detail.Amazing composition of this Four Spotted Chaser Gert.
Thanks for sharing and cheers

Halo Gert,
Another excellent captured!
How could you get closer to the object with your tripod? You also need time to adjust the tripod's legs. The noise of rough will make them runaway... :(
I really appreciate your spare time.
Best regards
Yasin

Hello Gert,
I've just discovered that you've posted a Chaser too! This is a superb capture, very beautiful colours and razor sharp. A fine composition too! Even though they're so common I love watching them.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hi Gert,
what a wonderful presentation. We see a lot of dragonflies on TN but you excel here in many respects. There is sheer magic in the picture because of the sophisticated use of light. Just great, my compliments Gert.
Best regards
