Hello Kevin,
you selected an optimal point view and focused well on the dragonfly couple. Sharpness is really good. The background is highly appropriate to show the insects very clear and distinct.
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Kevin,
Excellent shot of this couple!
I like you close approach and clear details got under this beautiful light.
The pose of the insects is just amazing, so acorbatic with that twisted bodies.
It's veru good the apperture used and the way the subject is isolated from the back.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Kevin
Excellent capture of this curious pair of dragonflies. Magnificent sharpness, POV, DOF and composition, and a very beautiful presentation.
I was wondering which one was the male. Now I know it is the red one.
Thank you very much for this great job.

Hi Kevin,

I think that this is one of the best dragonfly mating shots I've seen on TN, mainly because you have chosen yout pov and angle so very well. Everything is in the right place; you, the dragonflies and the sun. Nice soft background shows the two off perfectly.

Kind regards,

Mike

Hi Kevin

This is another splendid dragonfly macro from you, my friend, with these two Yellow-legged Meadowhawks mating here.
The side POV is terrific here are really gives a great angle for the position of the two. The details are absolutely goregous and the colors are vivid and beautiful, too.
Very good vertical composition as well as spot-on shallow DOF, to isolate your dragons perfectly here from anything around them.

Bravo and TFS
Horia
PS: i also like yout bird shots, too, but unfortunately time for writing critiques is very low these days :(
