[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another dragonfly enjoying our hot summer days. This one has golden stripes down his sides. He was patient enough to allow me to get a pretty good image of him.

(It's probably not a "he", but I can't tell.)

Hope you enjoy,
Reid

Hi Reid.
Very nice capture of this incredible insects, looking at it I imagine one of those impressing 1 meter darters that lived 150 million years ago.
Very nice use of natural light, the details are very well seen despito of the dark patterns and you got some nice transparencies.
Thanks and reagrds, Felipe.

Hello Reid,
Nice capture of a dragonfly species that occurs on TN but the name of the species escapes me. I think that this may be a female though.
Pretty sharp, with fine BG and excellent POV and set in a pleasing composition.
TFS and best regards, Ivan

Nice compo and light, Reid.
IMO it is worth trying sharpening the subject a tad more...

Hola Reid,

excelente macro,
buenos detalles y pov,
excelente trabajo,
saludos

Hi Reid,
Very good image, I like it. The soft light has given a nice even exposure, great colors. Well composed, a great POV.
Very good DOF from head to tail, with all that green contrasting nicely with your subject. Good details also..I think it's a he :) You can differentiate by looking at the tail tip structure I believe..
Very well done.

Hello Reid,
A well composed image, and the impressive dragonfly is captured with fine details!
A good pose from your model, and I always find it interesting to see how the use the feet to grab hold!
