Hi Kevin,
This is a good sharp shot of this River Cruiser. I like the diagonal presentation and the lighting. I find the BG a bit disturbing but you can't do much about that without a lot of cloning, but I wouldn't even try that.
TFS, best wishes, Ivan

Hi Kevin,
a nice and sharp picture with good diagonal composition.
Nice colours abd good DOF but agree with Ivan about the busy BG.
Well done.

a nice picture of the dragonfly with good focus and high sharpness particularly concerning legs and head/eyes. The posure in combination with your composition is attractive.
Best wishes, Peter

As an expert on the subject of odonata, your images have a sort of professional quality to them, Kevin. What I mean is that in addition to their high aesthetic qualities, they also portray arrays of features that would help one to describe them in precise scientific details. For example, even a layman like me can tell exactly at what spots one may expect to see the dabs, stripes and patches of yellow color on the body of a Swift River Cruiser :-)!
A stunningly sharp AND beautiful image.

Hi Kevin

Another splendid dragonfly from you! I must say, your gallery is shaping up magnificently, with numerous impressive shots - just like this one! Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Now, returning to this post, the details and textures on this one are amazing and the colors look brilliant. Also the diagonal composition works excellently and the POV is very good.
I really like the lighting and the use of the fill flash - you managed this one very well.
The DOF is impecable framing very nice, too.
All-in-all a GREAT photo!
Bravo and TFS

Hello Kevin,
I like a lot the eye detail captured on this dragonfly.
The effect created by the DOF is a very interesting pattern of light and shadows.
The composition works pretty well with this hanging scene.
The frame gets the best of the photo, with that tiny white line.
Nice shot, congratulations,
JM
