Hi Saeed!

Hmm, this probably is a bit more than just friendship!

:-)

I like the diagonal composition and the position of these dragonflies is amazing. The pictures pleases to me although it lacks a bit of clarity and more powerful colours. Maybe it's the upper, less interesting part of the background that provides this impression. It also would be fine to read a little bit more in your notes! Don't be afraid, good English kowledge is not necessary.

Kind regards

Markus

Hi Saeed,

Amazing shot you've captured here, the detail in the body and wings of the two dragonflies is very good, looks like you had some harsh lighting to contend with but you've handled it well, love the diagonal lines, nicely framed and composed.
t.f.s Rick :)

Dear friend.
I have missed this outstanding shot. I am impressed with it a lot. Tremendous DOF, sharpness and details of both attractive insect and leaf. Diagonal composition is wonderful as well as nice smooth BG. My warm greetings and TFS. Well done.
Alexei.

Hi Saeed,
Great diagonal comp, POV, detail, color, and exposure.
I just shot some dragonflies myself two days ago..
There were 10-12 widow skimmers mating in one small area. A few times they hovered right inside my AF range, mating in mid-air. Another missed opportunity :(
Well done,
Howard

Hello Saeed,
I missed this superb capture of a pair of mating Blue Skimmer dragonflies taken sharply from a fine side POV and set in a great diagonal composition.
Thanks for sharing this beauty,
Best wishes,

Hi Saeed,

a truly great shot! It's very rare to see the details of a mating wheel so well, how the male grabs the female by the neck, how the female reaches out for the spermathek. And the great DOF. The diagonal composition, that's macro photography for the textbooks! I know that the blue color of Orthethrum caledonicum (if that's the species, Blue Skimmer) is like that, pale. My compliments, Saeed.
Best regards

You had such great luck to see them together.
It's always so amazing to see such a moment, I get always so exited when having the great luck to see them so close.
Thanks for your wonderful shot

Fantastic image, Saeed.
Excellent depth of field and point of view.
Very good background in terms of displaying their habitat.
Nicely perched on that grass.
Well done
TFS
