Hello Horia!
First of all - great picture of Libellula fulva. I like very good sharpness and profile POV. Please be sure that soon it will be included also in the PES gallery ;)
And because it is your last photo before you will go to England, I wish you a very fruitful trip! And do not forget your camera! ;)
All the best!

hi horia,
when i looked up at this shot first thing i searched for was the lens you have used and was pleasingly surprised to see that you got such good results with Sigma 70/300 apo lens.
i just loved the bokeh, the colours and the sharpness, excellent pov and effective framing,
well done,
tfs & regards

Thanks for the dedication - an excellent shot - little more I can say. I am sorry that I will not be able to have you to stay - I head off for Abu Dhabi tomorrow.

Hey Horia!
What a great macro of this beautiful dragonfly! (I saw my first Chaser of the year yesterday!) :-)
The POV is very good and I love the composition.
Great lighting and nice vibrent colours.
Exceptional DOF.
Mmmmmm where did that 70-300mm come from? Or did you get it fixed? Either way I'm glad you've got a working one :-)

Have a great flight and I'll see you on Sunday!

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Horia.
I wish you fruitful trip and important for you results from it.
Now I see nice work of Sigma lens. You even did not use macro mode. Scene at whole is classic (for dragonfly shooting) and fine. I like rich colours and good sharpness/details of the main subject as well as pleasant smooth BG. We are waiting for you here and best wishes.
Alexei.
