[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello, today's post is fresh from outside ...
In Germany we have springtime - but it's more than summer - we have such high temperatures at some places near to 30 degree. And now the first dragonflies are back, new born, fresh and beautiful.

Look what special dragon I catched for you.
It's a Gomphus pulchellus / Western Club-teil / Westliche Keiljungfer.

I never saw this species before and I were so glad to see it. I hope you also like it.

Normaly dragonflies have both eyes together, but this one has seperate eyes with a space between.

Thanks for looking and any words ...

Oui oui c'est bien un dragon . Manquerait plus que cet énergumène mesure une dixaine de metre pour nous réduire a de vulguères insectes.

Splendid details as usual in your macro shots, Sabine. Nice animal too, beautiful colours. The leaf in the back that shows through its wing is a pity, though not really disturbing.
Well done, TFS.

Hi Sabine
SO happy so see your happy 1st spring shot... WOW amazing details on this new dragonfly...
I hope someone was able to tell you what kind it is...

Tricia

We have the feeling it's it's first flower of the spring too! Look how she look strongly take position on it... Have the feeling she want to fly taking the flower at home...
Colors are rich as fluo and the presence of the second smaller flower give a rich compo!

Good morning Sabine

What a beautiful capture, lovely and crisp with great colours. I like the POV too.

TFS regards Helen

Congratulations Sabine on capturing a new species. This is something I am hoping for this season. Good details, colors, and appropriate DOF to make it stand out well. Very nice catch and TFS!

Lyndon

Lovely colours and sharp details. What more can I say other than "Superb"?
Thanks for sharing

Hallo Sabine,
Ich gratuliere Dir zu dem wunderschönen Exemplar, so eine Libelle habe ich auch noch nie gesehen. Ich habe jetzt kein Glück weil leider der kleine Teich wo die meisten Libellen gesehen habe ausgetrocknet ist. Ich hoffe aber dass ich noch welche vor die Linse kriege.
Noch Mal gratuliere und danke dass Du sie für uns eingefangen hast.
Schöne Grüsse
Janusz

Wonderful!!!Great job!Bravo!
Greetings
Aleksa

Great color & good detail!! Well done. TFS Don

Hello Sabine,
Pin sharp front body, great vivid colours!
Good dynamics in the composition, that is an issue many seem to forget in macro photography...
Educational quality image!

Hi Sabine. I am amazed that you can even get them to sit still long enough, the variety we have here are very flighty. Excellent macro with good colour and definition. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Foggy Days’

Hallo Sabine,
diese Schönheit hätte ich beinahe verpasst, es ist ein herrliches Makrobild mit, wie immer, wunderschönen Farben und Details.
Ich wünsche Euch noch schöne, restliche, Pfingsten.
Grüsst Euch herzlich beide
