[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After I took this picture I realized that the shadows behind this dragonfly created a contrasty background to this orange/golden colours of the dragonfly.
the white line behind is a bush that was also in the sun light.
It is not a macro lens but the result is nice, I hope that you will like it.

Lovely effect of the light through the wings, good composition and an all-round high quality job. Well done.

What a unique catch, Elroyie. Beautiful positioning of the wings, delicate details on the dragonfly, and a quite special light you captured here. The background is indeed ideal to enhance the subject. Beautiful photo.

A real beauty Elroyie. Perfect dof, wonderful colours, excellent composition and well blured background. Great capture. Looks like a darter of some kind but one we don't have in Denmark, theat's for sure.

Beautiful shot. The lighting is soft golden and the dark background makes a perfect foil to show off the golden glistening wings. Good job!

What a ballet dancer ;-). Beautiful colours, fairly good DOF (tail and some wingtips outside), good sharpness and nice backlighting.

Nice picture. I agree on what moste people write about this picture. The positioning of the wings are really good.

Very nice colourful image Elroyie, this pose if I understand it we only see in warm climate dragons, they sit with their rear pointing into the sun, the idea being less body is exposed so staying cooler.

Gran imagen David.... realmente.
Excelente nitidez, iluminacion y perspectiva que permite una vision espectacular del insecto.
Bien hecho.

Great image David ... really.
Excellent clearness, illumination and perspective that allows a vision spectacular of the insect.
Well done.

beautiful colors and very good light. The dark background enhances your subject tremendously. details, specially the wings, are outstanding all over, due to a deep DOF. It's instructive but also very artistic. A very good shot!

What a marvelous photo! Bravo for the colors, sharpness, and the subject is perfect. Maybe little blur on the wings, but this is a so hard photo to take...

of course we like it, there is no other option :))))

The light and colours are fantastic, very rich browns and golds. The details and sharpness are great too. I haven't had much luck photography dragonflies, they don't sit still for very long!! Well done :)
