Blue Skimmer - Orthetrum Calidonicum

Time for a dragonfly – this time from Australia. Looks a bit like the Orthetrum we have in Sweden but the outer parts of the wings are tinted yellow. I found this one by a small stream in a rocky area in Queensland.

(PS - Under the branch is a larva of Danaus Chryssipus!)

Hi Ulla,
This is a very different POV for this Blue Skimmer :) I like the pose of the insect and those great details. The rest of its body is a bit OE but what is important is well exposed. I like the fact that there is an other insect there :) There is a little noise in BG but it is still a nice shot anyway :-) Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Ulla!
The tail part is OE, but it does not matter. You have got the focus spot on where it matters -- the face of this cute dragonfly.
Wonderful POV, DOF, sharpness and colours.
TFS and take care.

Hello Ulla,
Nice pose, bright eyes, perfect captured of wings. Perfect pov, dof, exposure. This is an impressive picture. Regards,
JC

Hi Ulla
Very nice composition. The abdomen and the branch is overexposed. I like the caterpillar under the branch :-)
Best wishes
Krzysztof

Hi Ulla,
Neat image! Deeper DOF should make this shot a perfect one.
