[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello friends,
Its such a long time since my last post to TN!! Unfortunately I have not been able to dedicate the necessary attention to my past-times and consequently also posts to my favourite site. I mark my return with a shot that is now several months old and my first Damselfly to TN. I admit I had to retouch a bit the background [post capture], to dull up a bit the white flower that otherwise would have been very distracting.
Thanks for watching
Mark

salut Mark,
très bon travail ici avec un spéciment très petit et pas facile à choper. Excellent cadrage, superbes couleurs.
Félicitations.

Hello Mark,
Where have you been all these days and months, my friend?
It is good to see you back!

Your first Damselfly is beautifully captured. The focus is uniform all over the long body and the colours are exquisite.

I too was lucky to have a single sighting of this very Damselfly in my compound here in Riyadh some time back and have posted quite a few pictures of it already.

Looking forward to your regular participation.
Best regards,
Ram

Hello Mark,
Welcome back.
The pink and white flower in the background made this picture so delight. Sharp and crisp clear image. TFS.

Hi Mark

This is a splendid macro shot with plenty of razor sharp details on your subject here!
I also love the very accurate DOF here that keeps the entire subject in full focus while blurring the BG nicely.
Charming colors and exceptional fill-in flash work!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Witaj Mark!
Beauty dragon-fly! Successful macro. Fields frame. Sharp picture. Super colours.
I greet - Roma
