Hello Joe,
I cannot believe that you already reached number 600! Congratulations. You have chosen to show us a very vivid and natural picture of this beautiful Club-tailed dragonfly, which I have seen once or twice close to the river where I live. But your picture beside the fact that it is well taken shows an interesting cannibal behaviour of this species.
I like your vertical framing and the fine natural colors.
Well seen and done!
Kind regards
Anne

Hello Joe,
congrats to your 600th post you have really grown as a photographer since your start here on TN.
Well composed, maybe a bit tight, well exposed with natural colours. Sharpness and DOF are on top and the d-fly stand out nicely from the BG.
Great work, young friend.

Regards
Gert

Hi Joe

Many many congrats for you reaching 600!!! Wow...what an impressive number, my friend!
During all this time, i think you've progressed a huge deal and are now ready to "battle" any profession photographer out there.
This photo does well to prove my statement, since it's very well and elegantly composed, it's incredibly sharp and so well exposed. You really have your way of using the fill-in flash (as you did here) - a method that i haven't really mastered yet :)
Anyway, a splendid shot of this Club-tailed Dragonfly, one of the best i've seen on TN.

Bravo, TFS and to many more!

Congratulations Joe!
An excellent capture of a Club-tailed dragonfly to celebrate your 600th post! The lateral POV shows this female, while she is feasting on a damselfly, with excellent sharpness and lighting against a fine neutral BG. Both a fine portrait of this species as well as an action shot!

Well done and I look forward to seeing many more from you.
All the best,
Ivan
