[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Large Red Damselfie was taken at the weekend while out with some other TN members. This was the only one that I spotted whilst we were out by the river but I believe that the others spotted more whilst out in the New Forest.

Hola Jai, buen macro, nitido, con buena luz y color.
Un saludo

See how well that weekend turned out>?! Wow...everyone wins...This so spot on sharp...I wonder as to why it took you so long to post it? I would have had to be anxious awaiting the time...Very nice Jai...actually better than nice!

Hello Jai,
Lovely sharp detail showing off the wings very well. Good composition and POV. Where I was in the Forest last weekend the only insects I saw were the ones biting me! TFS,
Lee

Brilliant macro of this Large Red Damselfly!
Excellent sharpness and loads of detail.
Natural colours, great light and the exposure is spot-on!
Well composed and a superb parallel POV.
Brilliant DOF.

Well done Jai,

Hi Jai

Sorry to get to this so late...i've been very busy with studies and work :(
Anyway, this is a lovely shot of this Large Red Damselfly and i like the way it contrasts here with the green BG...it really makes it stand out better (even to a partially colorblind guy like me :))
The details are very neat and sharp while the DOF is spot-on and keeps the entire bosy of the damsel in complete focus.
However, i have two advices, if i may :)
1. try to leave a bit more room in front of the subject, for perhaps a better composition...but this is always a subjective matter.
2. try sometimes to go down, to the point when you are parallel with the subject; usually this ensures a use of a shallow DOF setting and therefore the best blurred BG :)
Even so, i think this is a great macro shot and i hope to see more from you later.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

PS: how are Godzilla and Megatron? Still as playful as when i was there? :)
