[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a male Caliaeschna microstigma, a species widespread in Turkey, but not so common in Europe. I couldn't find an english name for it :). He was photographed while resting a few secs on the canyon wall before joining his potential mate on the bank.

On the wall you can see the modern man's bad attitude towards the gifts of nature.

The photo is a product of my compact camera on its tele end, a long series of size reduction and standard PS applications.

Hello Umit,
The English name for C. microstigma is the Eastern Spectre. This is a fine sharp capture of a male contrasting well against the rock BG. Excellent POV that shows the features well. Thanks for sharing this beauty that is probably a first on TN for this species.
Regards, Ivan

Hello Umit,
What a fine capture of this beautiful and very dark dragonfly that I don't think I've seen before. Excellent sharpness and beautiful blue colours that stand out against the colour of the rock.
TFS and regards, Ulla

hi Umit,
brilliant picture...awesome details and fantastic capture.
TFS

In spite of the unavoidable interference from the very near BG, this is a terrific shot in sharp focus and great detail Ümit Bey, being perpendicular in main axes to the optical axis of the camera helped of course, and the homogenous illumination of the flash helped a lot but still, this fine composition is purely your doing, TFS indeed my friend!

Hi Umit,

You did a very good macro of the dragonfly! Excelent DOF with great details especialy on insect's wings. I like very much the overlap of wings and stone texture.
Also colors are good natural looking.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Merhaba Umit!
Very nice speies of dragonfly, and one which was not known for me before. At first view I thought that this is some Aeshna species (similar species we have in Poland :>), but after reading your note I know, that I was wrong :)
Nice and rather unique capture, as these insects "do not like" to relax and are flying almost all the time.
Best regards,
Radomir

Hello Umit,
Very nice image of this dragonfly we have in western Canada. The image is great except for the graffiti on the wall that you pointed out. The colors are marvelous and the sharpness is great, thank you for sharing.

Hi Umit,
Wonderful shot of this beautiful dragonfly clinging on the wall. Very impressive sharpness and I love the strong colour contrasts of the wall and the dragonfly. Great lighting and I like your POV to portray it. Superb composition. Kudos.
