Hello again with some smiling faces and winking eyes.
I hope you will smile back when looking at our beautiful 4 dragonfly-friends here.

You can see on the left side:

Southern Hawker - male (Aeshna cyanea)
Common Darter - male (Sympetrum striolatum)

on the right side:

Brown Hawker - male (Aeshna grandis)
Clubtailed dragonfly - female (Gomphus pulchellus)

Thanks for looking and smiling.
I had to make a small break here, now I'm back and again looking around to see all your shots ;-)

Wow! Any shot individually would be well worth praise, but to have four together like this really is a treat!

There is something distinctly Warhol-ish about your collage. The expressions - if bugs have such things - are a delight and the colours work well together. Brilliant detail - very impressive all round.

C'est vrai qu'ils nous donnent envie de sourire. Ma préférence va au Clubtailed dragonfly ;o)
En tout cas, l'association portrait/couleurs est une belle réussite
Bon retour !

Hi Sabine,
You and jentt putted a big smile in my face today! With two funny and opposite photos!
This one is more that funny. As usual with you, it is a fabulous macro! And what a genial idea! Each photo has fine details and clear colors. You are a a fine observer for recognize male and female! :)
Well presented! Happy to see you are back!
Annie

In one phrase this is what happen when dragonsfly learn Pop Art! :)
If i have to say more... And it's easy! I enjoy the choice of color, the complex way those eyes could have reflection. It's metallic... The closeup is impressive. Not just considering the macro len I don't know if there is trics to approach them but by here they don't cooperate! :)
Excellent assembling and Sharp... But Sharp is a part of your definition!
