Hello Jim,
you found a couple of beautifully coloured dragonflies. Their presentation is not easy because of the complex structured vegetation in the background. The couple selected just this place! Nevertheless, you demonstrate the specificities and characteristics of the species very well. Some post-processing may slightly improve the picture in order to isolate the dragonflies a little more from the background. I tried a workshop and I hope that you will like the result.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Jim. Love is in the air. or so they tell me.
You have captured a fine shot of the two dragonflies. good colours and a nice POV. the detail is good just a little noise in the BG. great shot all the same. TFS.

Wonderful color display of Dragonflies on acid. No seriously the colors are very psychedelic. And of course the intimate moment capture is an important ingredient. Fine sharp work.

Hola Jim, a mi modo de ver esta fotografía destaca por el juego de colores y formas del conjunto. El color azul del insecto de la parte superior da vida a toda la toma y hace de esta una interesante captura.

Saludos: J. Ignasi

Hi Jim,

Wonderful capture of these two! Even though there is so much vegetation they stand out very clearly. Colors are magnificent. That blue is really something. This must have been difficult to shoot but the result is admirable.

Hi Jim,
Colorful pair, I do appreciate the warning with that triple X rating :)
I find that the BG in macro is one of the most challenging elements..It will make or break the shot. Never-the-less, you've retained good detail and the POV works well IMO.
TFS.

Superb colours (very acid!) and outstanding details. I appreciate the problem with files sizes. My latest upload had to be reduced in size in order to keep it within site guidelines and still preserve some quality :(
I like your tight composition here
Great notes for an image with no ID :D
