[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another photo taken in the little maize plantation at Mocambo Park, here where I live.

The dragonfly did collaborate. I could take several shots. In some of them, through a different point of view, it's possible to see its face. If I find some satisfactory shot, I'll post it.

A nice shot on this dragon fly. The color and detail are excellent. The backround is alittle distracting. I think some further blur to the backround would enhance this good shot.

You got me with the title Livio. I love Oasis, but what does it all mean?
A very nice shot of this dragonfly.I like the golden colour...very different to ours.It'll be interesting to see some others from a different POV.

Great shot Livio,
Superb detail and colour. Excellent sharpness and clarity.
I'm sure you have many more satisfactory shots of this dragonfly, and I'm looking forward to seeing them.
Thanks for posting

What is this dragonfly trying to do? Camouflaging himself against (hiding behind) the stick? :) Well captured Livios. Everything is in order. Nice 'n sharp! TFS!

Lovely capture Livio, good detail and colour, shame you couldn't get any more blur to the background, but that's nature for you.

Wonderful macro.Colors,sharpness and BG are great.Well done!

It's not the best of yours Livio,
that comes through the composition, the line of the body is almost the same as the line of the corn, and that gives a not so good effect in the shot, the sharpness and the colours are okee, farther good job

Very nice work Livio, the details are excellent and it's a very nice composition. Very well done.

Nice shot Livio, a very thick-bodied dragonfly. Great effect with the translucent wings and the symetry with the plant is interesting.

Dragonflies are indeed beautiful and some are more co-operative than others.
The detail in this shot is amazing especially the sheen on the wings - you must have got the light just right. I was looking at your dragonfly shots last night as I have been trying to photograph some of the ones I have seen lately. Thanks as your shots, especially this one, have given me some ideas of angles to try out next time I see one. It is just beautiful.

What an amazing dragonfly! I love the detail you have managed to get in the wings with an almost irridescent glow to them. I wonder what the purpose, if any, of the golden tips on all the wings. It almost reminds me of the counterbalance weights used on tires or such. I look forward to more of these. Well done and Thank you.
