Hello Valentina,
I'm happy to see you're back, my dear!
And you come back with a pleasant image, I have never seen a dragonfly photographed on a background like this before... Very well done!
I fact I visit your gallery for the image of your funny rabbit, but I was sorry to see it was gone...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi dear Valya!
At the time you were visiting the Meteora Monasterakis, I was in your town... being unable to see the greatest attraction of Troyan - it's most passionate photographer - you, I continued trough the pass to Karnare, wishing you in my mind a pleasant stay in Greece. I see you've not lost your time there hunting this beautiful dragon fly among the Meterora rocks. Glad to see that the weather has been fine. Many thanks for dedicating this beautiful photo to me. It'll be my favourite.
Anton

Hi Val
I miss your beautiful flowers. This is a great capture. He looks a bit stressed to me. Uncomfortable. Maybe it is because the twig is so thin. I know technically spoken there is an issue about centering and off centre but it doesn't bother me at all that it is in the centre. I actually like it like that. Maybe the background could have been more blurred to set of the little creature better but that again is a difference in taste. It doesn't take anything away from the fact that you saw a great opportunity and captured it.

Hello Valentina !

Glad to see you are back ! Learning is sometime a painful process. But always remember , you will find not only useful help from many members, but even friends willing to give time and tricks to improve your skills. You must be opened to critiques and comments. Do not be discouraged by them , but try to learn from them. Do not be afraid as well to post your own comment or critique.

Personnally, if you look at my early images on TL, or even TN and TE, you will see I barely received any feedback in the first months I published, despite my works were not that bad ( well.... So I thought !(*_^) ). The point is , you must do it for fun , and for the pleasure to learn and share. Otherwise, even the top photographers, simply dumping images on these sites, without giving any feedback , are ''forgotten'' rapidly. Like many members I do not like to talk to walls....

I am happy once again to see your works, and sorry to note you took away a lot of good shots.

Now about this one . (*_*)
A great location and Wallpaper in the BG ! For the purpose of shooting this dragonfly, try to avoid centering your subject. The main subject is the insect , not the monastery. The tilt here is not really helping in your composition. I would prefer a straighter approach. Nice blurred BG BTW.

Hugs and Kisses !
Robert
Hopefuilly this comment will be constructive to you. (^_^)

Finally I have a friend with the namew of Georgieva. I hope to see more from your photos.

Bonjour Val
splendide, magnifique cette libellule orangée. Tu as dû avoir du boulot pour la photographier et surtout de la patience pour attendre qu'elle se pose sur cette fine branche
Félicitations
