hi Monika,

beautifull shot of thys Sympetrum striolatum (it is a male).
this position particularly is called "obelisk".
nice POV with a good isolation from BG with perfect detail, sharpness, colours.

Well hello again, Monika!
So nice to hear from you again! How's UK? Are you studying there?
Anyway, coming back to the picture, its great to see one from you!
Excellent one, with a very interesting pose from the dragonfly indeed. I've seen this behaviour as well...it really does look wierd...it probably due to the fact that as we speak, in Danemark there are the World Gymnastics Championchips :))
Seriosly, i reallu like the sharp detaisl and the DOF, the lovely BG, framing and composition!
Great work!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Monika,

Nice shot! Well spotted and well taken, lovely focus on the head/legs.

I'm impressed at the Macro on that sigma lens, I'm thinking of getting one myself...

TFS, Doug

hi monika! :-) long time no see. great to see you back!
so, how are you and things in the uk?
not so good when you only managed to get one photo.*g*
what a cool pose - perfect timing on that - good sharpness
on the body and a nicely blurred surrounding.
well done & take care, thorsten.

Hello Monika !
Nice to see a picture from you again ! And such a beautiful picture, with awesome details and wonderful colors. I really like the composition too, with this diagonal line, and the pose of the dragonfly is wonderful too. Very well done !

Hi Monika,
This dragonfly has really a rare position! Original pose, good composition and an enigma to me, as I never went to London:-) Dragonflies in your country are not head down!

Hi Monika,
This is a very strange position indeed and I like this POV. Details are good, except one one wing but I guess it was moving, it gives a sens of mouvement to the picture anyway . Nice compo and colors and TFS,

Hey, Monika, Welcome to the UK, I hope you are enjoying it.
This is a good, simple yet effective composition, and it fits perfectly with the title.
I tried many dragonfly shots this summer and it's so difficult to get the focus point right with such a shallow DOF. You've got the head sharp which is the main thing. I can't even manage that! It's an interesting pose, I often see them stick their tails up but not that far.
It looks more than a little over-exposed to me, though, perhaps even 1 stop.

Dear Monika, since I've been in London, what does the expression "mind the gap" mean there?

As for the photo, I like it.

Great pov and composition. I like the obelisk pose too.
