Hi Sabine

All the best to you, too, my friend and may 2009 be at least as good photography year as 2008 was :) I also hope that it will be a year we'll meet face to face and go shooting together (if you decide to join our big TN meeting) :)

This is again a splendid collage - something we've some to expect from you :) Many thanks, as well, for the special dedication for Greg and myself...i hope you've enjoyed our little friendly competition and why not...let's repeat it next year only with more members ;)
All these dragonflies are amazing and very well and originally displayed here.
I, too, can't wait for their return...

Cheers, TFS and Happy New Year!

Hello Sabine!

Fantastic collage. I'm really happy that you mentioned and liked our competition with Horia. Maybe you'll join next year? Very arty picture, every dragonflie looks great. I didn't photograph three of them, so Gomphus Pulchellus, Orthetrum coerulescens and Oxygastra cutisii are my favs.

Happy New Year!

Impresionante presentación donde todas las imágenes tienen una gran calidad. Muy buena presentación.
Feliz año 2009 para tí también.

Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Hi Wishnu marvelous job. Beautifully presented. Nice colors, sharpness & light.

Happy New Year to you.

Hi Sabine,

A beautiful collage of these wonderful dragonflies to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of the next. Each picture is excellent with superb colors and details. And to think that I can count on the fingers of one hand the dragonflies I saw in 2008! I wish you and your family a Healthy, and Happy New Year.

Jane

Hi Sabine,
I'm envious of all the beautiful species you have there. We only have a few dragonflies and they are difficult to get close to.
This is an excellent collage documenting all the amazing species in great detail.
Very nice work.
Happy New Year!
Steve

Wow guys and gals..this is one heck of a montage that looks like fireworks of nature...you did a swell job pf preparing this special one for sure....It really shows..You really are good at pre-planning..Your database must be clear and well kept..Mine is like a disarray of papers in the old days with an old fashioned typewriter and all...Best of 2009 for U!

Hi Sabine,
Thank you so much for your kind wishes ...
It is a joy to be in your gallery and to look at such well saturated shots...I think your shots stand distinctively in the European gallery with the rich colours so much like you see in India.The macros you share are so amazing that you have inspired me to own a macro lens one day.The details are splendid and there is a glow on each of the subject.The frontal special PoV with the heads are awesome and admirable.Thank you so mcuh for sharing these beauties and i hope you will keep them coming in 2009.
Wish you and family peace and health in the New Year

hello Wishnu

Very impressive collage of 2008 photos that I can see all in a page rather going to the gallery and search for them :)

Sharp images!

I can say that all these dragonflies are different from what I see in Sarawak/Borneo. I wonder what makes the color change to be a variation.

Happy 2009 to you and Sabine.

tfs, bill

Hello Sabine,

Thank youfor the good wishe and for the very bice and inspired colage. You have chosen very good images of the dragonflies showin very good details and excelent colors.

Thank you for sharing and i wish you too a Happy New Year,

Hello Sabine,
I like this collage of pictures a lott.
Last year I concentrated a bitt more on Moths and Butterflies and in this year I think it will be the same,but I always try to make pictures of for me new species of Dragonflies and Damselflies to.
I only have one remark on the ID of the first picture on the right side;
I think that this is O.brunneum because of the white face he has. O.coerulescens has a more brownish face.
I wish you all the best for 2009!
Harm

Ciao Sabine,
meraviglioso collage di immagini di libellule, l'insieme risulta particolarmente armonioso e piacevole; tutte le immagini hanno un'eccellente nitidezza e si possono apprezzare i bellissimi dettagli anche se le immagini sono in formato ridotto.
TFS.
Maurizio
