Hello Jaap.
I feel envy from this shots, we have plenty of damselflies here but not so many dragonflies and skimmers. This is a very beautiful one with a great pose. I love the pearl eye :)
Well done my friend, and my best wishes.

Hi Jaap,
a wonderful dragonfly, I love the pose and the excellent sharpness. I haven't seen dragonflies this year here in my region, only in the holidays in Burma - thousands of them, but only flying all the time.
Today I found a shy scorpion-fly in my garden.
I haven't known that they are so tiny.
Thanks for your pretty shot, bye

Great capture of this dragonfly ! Sharpness, details, colors, composition, POV and BG are perfect. I also love the pose of the dragonfly, and its big shiny eyes. Very well done !

Lovely shot Jaap, great detail and composition. I see the square format has become very much your trademark. I notice on my monitor your images look a little bright I did a WS. This interesting as you you did the opposite in brighten up one of mine on TE. Are monitors must be calibrated at two extremes. Very nice work.

Hallo Jaap,

Uw Tamron lens doet het hier zeker niet slecht, opnieuw een mooi detail van de vleugels, nochtans vind ik de werkshop van Stephen niet slecht, het is wonderwel hoe in de natuur alles opgaat in de omgeving, dit is iets dat hier door u mooi getoond wordt.
Uw specialisten werk opnieuw!
Groeten,
John.

Hi Jaap,
a very nice close-up with very good POV and compostion.
The details and DOF are also good.
Agree with Stephen, it's a bit bright even at my monitor and I think Stephen did a good WS.
Very well done my friend.

Hi Jaap,
Beautiful shot and although I don't have much experience with the insect world, it seems an unusual that the wings are folded forward. Excellent detail, perfect exposure and DOF, fantastic work.
