Hello Linda

A superb macro shot of the dragonfly, with excellent sharpness, colour & framing. Impeccable use of a shallow dof, & well framed & composed. Have a great weekend!

You lucky gal! Heck, I've been looking for these for a while now, but no luck so far :-p

Razorsharp, and that background contrasts and rocks :) Top notch macro.

Cheers,

Hi Linda,
Excellent close up with a wonderful OOF BG. It interesting to see the D'fly sitting on a non-natural base. It certainly did create a great color contrast and give the photo a different and interesting view.
TFS,

WOW very sharp and beautiful colours! I like the green pieceful background. Like this the dragonfly get's all the attention. The brown parts are just enough detail to make the photo complete.
Very well captured!

Hi, Linda -
Supersharp macro details, good job keeping the entire insect in focus. I like how there is nothing behind the transparent wings on the right so you can see the intricate detail of the network within. Was it perched on a weather vain or something? Great stuff.

NICE SHOT!!
I love pictures of dragonflies and this is outstanding! Mad good detail, beautifully composed and I love the view with its wings spread. The soft green BG sets it off wonderfully, too. What a great catch! Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Linda... Your names are amusing me. Such a creative one.

This photo seems quite different than your usual "buggy" ones. I guess it's the green background that seems void of other shapes and forms. Striking green backdrop. The details of the bug are great. I might have even cloned out the leaf to the left to make it more symmetrical background (in a way) for a variation.

Enjoy your day... (I'm wasting mine) ;) Lisa

Hi Linda,
Wow! Impressive shooting! The clarity and focus look impeccable, excellent background too. I'm exactly like you when it comes to getting up early - One of my fav times of the day. Outstanding job with this shot.

TFS,
Scott.
