Hello Friends,

Good Evening, Good Afternoon and Good Morning to you all..

i have a hard time choosing which one of my dragonfly i want to post because both i like and both shots are the same but from different angle.. after some thinking i choosed this one and the other one you will see in my Workshop.. what do you guys think? which one you prefer?

this was taken at my mom's garden some part are dark because of the plants in the garden.. the white looks like OE across the blurred fence are my neighbour's floor tiles..

first time i ever saw this dragonfly species.. i been looking at dragonfly gallery on yahoo so far i have not found same as this one.. have you ever see one like this? could it be that he is a mix of bumble bee? or? hehe.. actually i found a ladybug and tried to capture it instead this beautiful dragonfly just landed right in front of me and perched on my mom's dry chili plant like he asked me to photograph him.. after some shots he went away.. even the way he flied is different like ballad in the air :D haha..

anyway hope you like it.. thanks for looking..

cheers, terry


"Move on"
by: vasundhara

You never know what your life may
Turn up for you the next day
So live life your way
Let the past go away
And future be your hay
Believe me what i say
Nothing lasts for more than a day
So move on...
Let the past never cross your way
So live in the present but let the future stay
Selieve this say
To lead life this is the way
And sadness and repent will go away
So never depend on today

Hi nong,
Jaman minyak mahal ni, bukan kerita saja yang urang kasi bikin hybrid. Pepatung pun mau jadi hybrid juga. apa alasan dorang, dorang saja la yang tau. Sya setuju sama agoes la nong. Pendapat sya lebih kurang begitu.

gambar ni kekuatannya dari segi detail yang, mak datuk, cukup jelas. yang di WS pula tone yang seimbang. kalau mau undi, secara peribadi sya suka yang di WS nong. tapi ko lebih mengerti kenapa pilih yang ini sebagai main post.

regards,
adhan

Hi Nong,

clarity memang excellent, sampai boleh nampak itu bulu-bulunya. nasib baik inda keriting macam rambut Om.

cuma itu lighting di belakang telampau kuat tapi orang putih bilang itu beyond your control.


well done!
