I guess both of us hold this "picturesque" Picturewing close to our hearts, Fartash :-).
I still have a lot of unused shots of this dragonfly in my archives!
Your point of view from top front is quite a bold one with sharp focus on the eyes.
I tried one from a lower angle and am tempted to post it next :-).
Needless to say, I would give you 10/10 for this shot.
TFS.

Hi Fartash,
Nice and unusual angle in upright position when you shot this beautifull dragonfly, the light came soft in its left wing with hundred mosaic in detail, the light reflection on its right eyes also unique, the blur green background even more highlight the object, one minor thing, the tail part is OOF, but it is not disturbing the overall presentation, TFS

Hi Fartash, splendid dragonfly, lovely blurry BG, wonderful light and colors, excellent details of wings and great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Fartash

Another very beautiful macro work from you!
I like the upper POV here that shows the amazing pattern of this beautiful dragonfly's wings.
The contrast and colors there are wonderful and the details - especially on the head of the dragon - are terrific.
Can you remember about what was the distance between the tip of your lens and the subject here?

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Hello Fartash,
Awesome macro , can see the background right through his wings..nice! TFS
