Hi Ken

Fabulous timing to catch is great moment, I guess it must be a popular twig.
Nicely composed with a great pose and POV.
Nice crisp details and a great DOF.
Beautiful colours and light too.

Hi Ken,

It is a very good moment you have captured in your photo! Also you made good use of the light rendering natural colors. Composition with sharp clear main subject and blurry background looks great.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hi Ken!

This is fantastic picture. I've never seen such scene before. You had got lots of luck! And your workshop, it's almost unreal to see such scene twice!

Hi Ken,

In Tucson 97F is considered a "cool" day. 100 is hot and 102+ is very hot. Guess everything is relative. I love this shot of the two dragonflies trying to settle a territorial dispute. The colors are just magnificent. Wonderful timing to get this action with such sharp details. The wings are superb and they show the difference between the two along with the colors of the face. Superb background and a wonderful composition.

Hello Ken. This is really brilliant capture with the dragonflies caught during their acrobatic stunts. Very good sharp focus and well metered shot against the pleasant muted background. Thanks for sharing and best regards, Jusni
