Hi Alan,
I like the tight crop here, it's very nice.
The DOF is good, the subject is well seen from the BG.
Lovely colours and light.
Well done.

Hi Alan

Great shot. I love the colours and the textures. I think I like the dying plant even more than the Damselfly. Excellent details and colours in the Damselfly. Nice composition and POV

Hi Alan !
This is a wonderful shot ! Excellent details and wonderful composition, beautiful blurred BG with pretty colors, nice POV. But what I like most here are the warm and soft colors, giving a beautiful summer-mood to your picture. And the blue damselfly stands out so nicely. very well done !

Hi Alan.
You have shared a very amazing and colourful picture with mysterious framing. And it would be desirable to ask, what remains outside the frame.

Great sharpness of details of the flower and insect, beautiful their colours, excellent composition. Superb done and TFS.

The composition was what amazed me most! Not usualy is an option taken to crop the subject so much, but in this case one can see clearly the outstanding sharp details and beautiful blue colors you've shown in this photo.
Very well done.
Thanks for sharing.
My best regards,

Filipe.

Hello Alan,
I like the crossing diagonals in the composition!
The dragonfly is very well framed with interesting details... I notice the landing platform which is rather dry in this case!
Macro work is well done, of course!

Una pequeña imagen... una gran presentación.

Beautiful composition Alan, with clarity, coloring and illumination very appropriate.
I like POV and the elected framing, also showing detail of the hanger of the insect.
A little image... a great presentation.

Amazing macro, you should do more of these. Strange insect and an even stranger thistle. You must be recovering from an exhausting weekend by now. Have a great upcoming week.

Your friend who is being paid not to work (more later!)....
