[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello TN friends,
One of the weekends (Friday) morning we (Rupesh a TN,TL member and other 2 photographer friend) went Hatta. Hatta is one of the popular tourist spot with mountains and wadis and natural pools. When others were enjoying swimming and doing BBQs, we four were hunting for dragonflies, damselflies, butterflies and other insects.

I am not sure of the ID of this dragonfly it looks different from Orthetrum sabina specially on strips and the tail. This was sitting on a stone it was mid day when I captured this. Hope you like this.

Regards - Adil.

Salam Adil,
A fine capture of what I think is a species of Pincertail (Paragomphus).
As your camera was not completely at right-angles to this dragonfly a higher aperture might have given you more complete sharpness, but its a fine shot and the BG is superb.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Ciao Adil. Good diagonal compo and excellent details. I like the colours too.

I have been to Hatta fort and the surrounding wadis, Adil. It is an interesting area, no doubt. I am happy to know that you were able to find wild life there. When I visited this place in 2005, I was not even a member on TN :).
This is a nice capture of the Pincertail with fine details and rich colours.
Well done and TFS.

Assl.Alaikkum Adil,

A wonderful macro capture from Hatta.Looks like a clubtail.I like the palette colours where brown is predominant and goes well with your subject's own colours.
The image is well picked up showing good details on the head and abdomen.I wonder a slightly different DoF could have given a sharper view of the tailend and the wings!
Never-the-less it is a capture quite admirable for its beauty.

TFS and cheers
