A stunning macro, Paul. How you managed to manually set your camera with one hand and a dragonfly on the other is beyond me... and still come out with such a superb shot too!
Congratulations, and TFS your photo and your story. : )

Great macro, Paul.
This is real close, especially with two conveters and no lens, my friend. ;-))
Very well composed, great details, nice POV and lovely colours. Very nice note too.
You did an excellent work.

Excellent choice of crop, compo works well. Beautiful colours. The bright reflection on her eye above/right from the defect looks a bit strange. Natural or artifact?
Anyway, it is very well done!

Amazing shot, Paul. The crop really highlights the circular motion. Excellent shot on all accounts... but the effort to capture raises it even higher! Exceptionally done! :-)

Hi Paul, I have no time to write a decent comment. I give to you the well deserved smily. It is an amazing photo with this unique PoV on TN.

A great shot Paul, incredible detail which the tight crop emphasizes well.
The colours are amazing, in fact the top one reminds me of lobster (!)
I think if they had perched on my finger I would have been too distracted watching them to capture an image like this.
Thanks for posting.

Hello Paul,
The dragonfles are one of the most handsome critters in the insect world, especially when captured in such technical fascilities. Great colours and details. Excellent DoF. I also loved the tight crop but I think some space at the bottom would give roominess to the composition.
Very good work.

Oh wooow.... Superb macro shot Paul, well worth it after those wait. I still can't believe you manage to have them in one hand and just one hand to take this amazing shot, fantastic details, colours and DOF. Just superb! Thanks for sharing Paul. :)

Excellent work Paul. Colours are excellent as well as the dof/sharpness - you can even see the scratches on her body. I love this tight crop and you did right doing this where most of us would try to get all of the two in the frame. This composition makes the picture far more interesting. First calss job.
