Taken in my front yard just a couple days ago with my new baby. could not help but chace the dragonfly around. I have to say that he was a pain in the butt to follow but it was fun playing. Hope you all enjoy!!!

bonjour Christian

Amazing macro shot of dragonfly and this colorful flower.

Really hard to choose the favorite of dragonfly or flower as the main subject but I prefer the insect. :)

A fine TL post.

Christan,
Hard to choose which to admire first, the blue flower or the dainty dragonfly. They are equally well captured. Your chase paid off hansomely. Regards, Danilo

Exquisite details in the wings of your little subject
Superb placement of your little guy in the upper third of the frame - nice "rule of thirds" work

Hello Christan,

The dragonfly has found a beautiful landing pad!
Super details in the insect, standing out so well on the blurry back...
This is a beautiful composition, and the colour palette is very attractive to my eyes!

Greetings,
Pablo -

A lovely blue Christan and you captured the beastie well. Try as I may I just can't get close enough to the drgaonflis we have here. Well composed, good light and fine detail,
David

The translucent wings are great. The strong flower colours really add. If you were interested in getting more attention to the dragonfly, then cropping out half the flower might work. If not, it's perfect as is.
