This is a nice photo I would have liked the wings to be clearer, but good photo - have a great week end.

Hello Gert!
You are right, as for me it is a male of Leucorrhinia pectoralis.
This is a very nice and sharp picture :)
TFS and all the best from Poland!
Friendly yours,
Radomir

Hello Gert,

A very nice and sharp picture of this beautiful dragonfly. Excellent POV, DOF and sharpness. I like the gradual evolution of colour from yellow to red on the abdomen and thorax. Very good contrast against the green of the leaves.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Gert

Nice to see new photos and species from you...always a pleasure, my friend!
As Radek said, this is a Yellow spotted Whiteface - Leucorrhinia pectoralis, indeed a species we don't see much of here.

You have captured it in a very good macro here!
I really like the impeccable sharpness and the lovely colors you managed to retain.
The DOF is also spot-on and keeps the entire dragonfly in good focus.
Very well seen and taken!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: Congrats on your new lens, too! It looks great!

Hola Gert!!!
Perdon por escribirte en catellano, pero puedo escribir mejor en este idioma que en Ingles ja ja , la captura esta bueno es muy muy linda, las libelulas son hermozas, aca en mi pais Argentina esta comenzando el invierno, por lo que no hay mucha diversidad de Insectos dando vueltas, las flores se han ausentado tambien por el frio!!!
Visite la pagina " A biggger version here ", los detalles que se pueden apresiar son fantasticos!!!, los colores el foco todo esta muy bien.
Bueno simplemante te queria agradecer por compartir esta foto con nosotros.
Saludos desde [Tandil -Bs. As.- Agentina]

Hi Gert.
I like very impressive scene, amazing pattern created by the leaves and superb of beauty dragonfly which you have captured at very impressive upper POV. Square cropping and strong diagonal composition of the picture are wonderful as well as the lights, natural colours and great details of the scene. Well done and kind regards.

Very fine macro, Gert!
I think this is a Whiteface Dragonfly.
Superb sharpness and incredible clarity.
Excellent composition and POV.
Very well exposed.
The large version is even more impressive!

Well done!!!

Goodmorning Gert,

This is a beautiful photo of this dragonfly. Sharp and colorful. I'm agree with the critiques of Betsie. The wings good be sharper or clearer. But I think it comes trough the green leaves. And I like the big photo. It is superb.

Have a nice weekend and TFS BOB

Hej Gert,
Great that you also found this beautiful dragonfly that Ivan and I have both posted recently. This is a very fine sharp capture of an immature male in beautiful colours. I like its pose on the leaf - we've seen several but they nearly always settle on the ground or on a stone. Well done!
TFS and cheers, Ulla
