Lieber Dieter,
Herrlich farbig Dein Bild! Du hast die schöne Adonislibelle aus einem interessanten Winkel fotografiert, mit Fokus auf diese erstaunlichen Augen.
Gute Komposition und wieder eine hervorragende Schärfe des Bildes.
Danke Dir und Peter Glauser noch für den interessanten Vortrag, er wurde sehr geschätzt!
Wünsche Dir noch eine schöne Woche..bis jetzt allerdings sieht es noch nicht so gut, wie versprochen, aus
Herzliche Grüsse
Anne

Hello Dietrich,

A real beauty, nice pose, good color and detail. Excellent!

I know what you mean about losing sharpness at small f/stops, it's a problem, although your camera, being a 6 megapixel camera, has relatively large pixel sites and doesn't suffer from diffraction softening as much as the newer higher resolution cameras do. My Nikon D70 has essentially the exact same size sensor as your camera, so our experience with diffraction softening is the same. I try not to go smaller than f/16, but sometimes we need more depth of field, and have to trade off a little sharpness to get it.

At smaller image sizes like on this site, it's not very noticeable, but it's easy to see it at higher resolutions.
