Hi Ram,
there's a perfect pale BG along with a great composition and DOF that brings out the dragonfly really well.

very well taken the detail is wonderfull as I always find these difficult to photograph, though maybe my latest entry is ok even if the dof is'nt, and you have interesting and usefull notes as well.

Hi Ram

I think this is one of your best dragonfly shots - the sharpness combined with the neutral background really bring out the detail of this insect. True the eye is not as sharp as in some of your earlier shots, but overall it is excellent.

What a vivid dragonfly you took here! Great use of flash made the photo impressive details and colours. Great diagonal framing and amazing and different bg. In my opinion, this one is better then the former post! Should be in my favourite!
Thank you Ram and congratulations!

You present the female Trithemis aurora at her best, Ram.
You show her with excellent overall sharpness, depict her characteristics from the best POV and put her in a very pleasing composition involving diagonals set by her body, perch and her wings. This is then backed by a fine sandy-coloured BG.
A top class post!
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Ram,
Beautiful capture, with very effective diagonal framing and very attractive POV. Colour are brilliant but [if I'm not being let down by my eyes]there is something wrong with the sharpness. Are you using some sort of noise reduction post capture? Some programs tend to be detrimental to image sharpness. Exposure being one of the strong points of the d200 is right on the button!!

Hello Ram,
Aside from this being another excellent example of your dragonfly expertise, I was indeed curious about the fauna in Riyadh. Great piece of macro work, esp. the sharpness, exposure and background. Well done my friend.
Best wishes,

Salut Ram
C'est une magnifique photo avec une excellente netteté, belle composition et superbes couleurs. Très joli contraste de couleurs sur les ailes. Ton fond pêche fait bien ressortir la libellule.
Félicitations et au revoir...JP

Hello Sir,
Your atttempts definitely have not gone in vain.It indeed is a beautiful picture. Good colours and details.Even though this shot has failed to bring out the details that macro has done in your previous shot, the pale background and the position of the dragonfly makes it a remarkable shot.TFS,
Smitha.

Hello Ram,
I just discover that beautiful dragonfly. I'm amazed too to see that there are dragonflies even in a desertic country. This one is of great beauty and you have done well, even more, considering the difficulty to make the shot.

Hi Ram.
Great picture, my friend. I have no doubts. Tremendous diagonal composition, Details and sharpness of whole image of the dragonfly is simply outstanding as well as the colour reproduction. Both POV and DOF are excellent too. Colour palette is beautiful at highest level. Your shot is brilliant proof of your (and my) Sigma lens. Bravo, my friend. My congratulations. It's my favorite shot. Thanks a lot.
Alexei.
