[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Well, on Monday, I received my new toy, a Canon 24-70mm F/2.8 L
I went out to give it a go with a Sigma 36mm extention tube from Sweden. ;)
Here's the results. This could be a Slender or emerald spreadwing, but, as you can see, it's a new emerger, in the area where captured, these spreadwings are there.

Thanks for looking

Mike

Hello Mike,
Excellent shot, outstanding detail and perfect DOF. Great exposure, very nice work.
Cheers,
Adrian

Definitely an unusual POV, at first from the thumbnail I thought the whole thing was a broken branch however viewing the 100% image is a whole different story. Excellent DOF really brings the subject out well. :)

Hi Mike,
Well captured and a beautiful composition. Excellent colors and details.

Cemil

I see what you mean Mike the details here are very nice and crisp, which end of the lens zoom were you using and how far away from the subject and how much of a crop did you make?
The colours of this teneral damselfly blend it into the the surroundings great camouflage. TFS yours Robert

An interesting POV and coloration on this new dragonfly, Mike. Very well done with excellent details and exposure. Have fun with your new toy.
TFS. :)

Good Afternoon Sir Mike,
I like it a lot. The detail is superbly sharp and clear.
Exposure and lighting are spot on. I don't believe the colours could be any better than you have captured. Well composed.
Great POV, perfect DOF and well framed.
I'm sure you'll be having a lot of fun with this new toy.
Thanks for posting Sir. Enjoy the rest of the week, I know I will ;).
I shall credit this post with the most worthy of :)'s tomorrow morning. All used up today....

Howard

Interesting composition and colour.
Superb macro work!

hi mike
pour la voir celle ci,il fallait avoir l'oeil car sa couleur se confond avec la branche sur laqu'elle elle est posée.
bravo pour ce cliché.
laurent

Congratulations for your new toy, hope you enjoy it as I will do with your shots :)
Considering this is one of your first attempts, it looks really promissing. The image is great, has superb colours and lights. Congratulations.

Hi Mike,
a nice picture with good POV and compostion.
Well done with the exposure. It's good to see the tubes are in skilful hands.
Very well done.

Phenomenal sharpness here: even the little spurs on its legs are clearly visible.
A remarkable capture.
