I was suprised when i saw this dragonfly landed on our frontyard... the dragonfly seem to pose even im just almost 1mm from its wings... i just grab the opportunity to continuosly shoot it till i get a nice and sharp image...

Some info of dragonflies:
A dragonfly is a type of insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, and an elongated body.

Dragonflies typically eat mosquitoes, midges, and other small insects like flies, bees, and butterflies. They are therefore valued as predators, since they help control populations of harmful insects. Dragonflies are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Dragonflies do not bite or sting humans.

Hi Ollie,

Nice captured here, exellent sharpness and details, I like the colours and textures here, nice dof too, I am just not too sure about the yellow frame.. to me it look like it is taken away the spot light of the dragonfly... but that's just my personal opinion. :P


Have a good day,

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Ollie

Good macro shot on the brown dragonfly which stands out well against the green bg. A superb macro shot, with perfect dof & sharpness. Good contrast too. Tfs!

Wow, it looks much better than on the thumbnail, Ollie.
Thought is was not sharp enough.
Splendid macro, bravo.
Regards from Jan

i can almost count the hundred eyes this insect have.
very well done.
thanks

Wasssssup! :)
Hey Ollie, how's the office work going? :)))
Wonderful macro, dear, superb colors! I can't say in all honesty you've chosen the best frame, but that's just my way of seeing things. I love bright colors, yellow too, but I think simply black or white would've done a much greater deal for the shot.
Anyway, I miss you, take care, see you around, best wishes, when will you post some more drops or Frankenfruits, I have two more hours and I'm out of the office, it's almost starting to rain outside, so...SEE YOU LATER! :)))
Diana
p.s. tomorrow!
