Hello Fransisco,
A great way to depict this dragonfly in the 'hand stand' pose to deduce overheating from the sun. The sharpness and colours are excellent.
The rear POV does indeed make it look like a beautiful flower, which makes it a fine tribute to Loot and Anna1
Thanks and best wishes from a cold and dark Sweden.

Hi Francisco,
That is an amazing POV of a dragonfly.
Very interesting and unusual.
It does look like a flower with ephemeral petals.
A great tribute to Anna and Loot.

Dear Francisco
I had some surgery done yesterday where they removed Morton’s neuroma from my foot, and only saw your lovely dedication when I now came to take a glimpse at the response to my own posting done for my 2nd anniversary on Trek Nature. This is such a special dedication and I appreciate the kind thought and noble gesture very much. I am not speaking on Loot’s behalf as I know he will give his own gratitude as soon as time permits. The detail captured on this "flower" is breathtakingly beautiful. The pose in which you captured this Orange Flower is really beautiful and the "fan" effect it created with its wings gives it this extraordinary look. The vertical position of the body is very catchy to the eye and has an almost magnetism to it. The golden colours are unique and displays beautifully against the neutral background. Thanks for thinking of Loot and Anna when you saw this amazing "picture" through your lens. A super image, which have our names on it. Best regards.
Anna

Hi Francisco
First, I have to thank you for you kind words and let me ensure you the admiration is
mutual. Yes, I definitively enjoyed this one. A remarkable pose from this dragonfly. I
cannot remember ever seeing a dragonfly being captured from below. It is quite a hairy
fairy from this angle. The almost perfectly symmetrical posture and capture is thrilling.
The lovely isolated and OOF grey BG is brilliant to enhance the insect that stands out
like a sore thumb in the frame. The fast shutter speed (1/2000 of a second) ensured
you overcame any possible movement issues and made sure to capture remarkable
sharp details. The vertical stance of the subject ensured the F/5 aperture was more
than sufficient to cover the entire range of the dragonfly.
Well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot
