Hello Art,

this is a very good photo of the dragonfly. You have used a very good DOF keeping all insect's body in focus. Image is also very sharp showing very fine details. Colors are well rendered too showing a reachness of color tones.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Art,
Bless you for your many words of wisdom and kindness.

Now, for the photo...

I love dragonflies (and they eat mosquitoes, too!), and knowing how quickly they can move (some up to 60mph!) this is an awesome shot. I have a few, but have been reluctant to post them - though I may tomorrow.

Love the pattern of the wings you've got, the clarity of the body, and the way he grips onto the leaf. If I didn't know better, I'd say he's smiling.

Lovely insect, my friend. They are terrific for the environment. Once I discovered that they love mosquitoes, I've gone out of my way to attempt to attract them to my house!

Real nice photo.
So sharp you can see the shadow of the wing.
Nice color to.
