[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I believe this is a Neon Skimmer Dragonfly (male). I could be wrong, because it closely resembles the Flame Skimmer. The Neon Skimmer has less amber tinting on the base of the wings than the Flame Skimmer. Can anyone verify which one this is? Thanks.

Hello Ken,
Nice photo. I like the clear and vivid colours a lot. DOF ok, however I have an impression that the head is slightly blurred.
Best greetings,
Michal

Excellent shot!
Really sharp and well composed.

bonjour ken
c'est un tres bon gros plan de cette belle libellule,les couleurs sont bien vives,avec une bonne netteté pour l'insecte et un flou ideal pour le BG.

Wow. Nice clos up, excellent colors and BG. This one is really beatiful.

Hi Ken
Nice Dragonfly, with strange colour (for me), and a sharpness of the eyes that I never get.
Well done
