Paul, Great detail as usual in your images. Like the reds against the blue sky, nice. Your Darters wings are well seen with good DOF through-out. And hey, I don't mind that summers gone here - it gets too darn hot!!Well done Paul!

Now you have reached perfection, must invent something new, Paul!
I look at your posts to see how I want my photos to be. Thanks very much.

Hi Paul
Nothing beats a clean, uncluttered BG! VERy nice D'fly here. Do I hear the call of a bee-eater? Hope you fing other nice stuff to shoot with winter coming.
BTW, I was 5 meter below the weaver, shooting right up into the sky.

This is a very pleasing capture with the blue sky as BG. Your details are astounding. The shadows of the veins on the thorax even more so. I hope you can still get a couple before they vanish in winter.

Good macro of a dragonfly, sharp and nicely colored on this blue background.You were right to be on the ground to shot it. Well done. I know it's difficult to get a dragonfly in the camera, i actually spent my afternoon to try for only 5 good shots.

I have deleted all the dragonfly photos I took this summer. If I had taken this one, Paul, it would now be on my living-room wall, along with my best shots. Your photo has everything mine lacked: sharpness, details, uncluttered background, composition and grace. I am impressed.

Great DOF. Fine background indeed. I like it. Fine shot.

Paul, great shot, great summer "height". I have the feeling the insect was striking a pose.
