Hello Ken
This is a very good photo and the you display this dasher very well. I think you have a good composition with the leaf poking into the photo from the bottom and the dasher basically filling the rest of the picture. The focus is very sharp and I like the colors. With a little more depth of field you could have had the head in focus as well and in my opinion there is a little bit of noise in the lovely background, but that is maybe due to the Iso400. Very nice photo.

Hello Ken,
This is amazing shot with great details. The composition is preity nice exposing the wing joints. Also yu have managed the lihts very well. usually with this butterfly, the blu color looks a bit artificial. Well dne.

Hi Ken.
I am glad to see you again. And your start in 2007 is excellent. Very nice clear colours, amazing combination of blue, red-brown and green colour tones. Sharpness of the dragonfly is very good as well as the POV and composition of the picture. Your simple lens has demonstrated high class. My best wishes in 2007 and TFS.

Excelente macro Ken con buena definición, a partir del apropiado foco y profundidad (tal vez F6.3 o incluso F8 hubiese sido beneficioso), agudeza e iluminación, que brinda además bellos colores.
Me gusta el punto de vista captado que permite ver buenos detalles de las alas del insecto, realzados por el muy bien logrado fondo difuso.
Buen disparo, gracias por compartirlo.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Excellent macro Ken with good definition, starting from the appropriate focus and depth (perhaps F6.3 or F8 even has been beneficial), sharpness and illumination that it also offers beautiful colors.
I like the captured point of view that allows to see good details of the wings of the insect, enhanced very well by the diffuse achieved bottom.
Good shot, thank you for sharing.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

bonjour ken
le POV est excellent et le netteté remarquable,le diaphragme aurait merité un reglage plus fermé mais c'est deja pas mal.

Hi Ken, this is a great composition. I think you should have focussed more on the head rather than the thorax. Everything else is fine, well done.

Very beautiful shot of this dragonfly. Nice pose and composition with good lights and great details.
If you use "save to web" or adjust better the quality when saving to jpg, you will get less compression and therefore less noise, specially in this kind of backgrounds with subtle colour gradients.
Best regards, Felipe.
