This is an incredible shot of these two dragonflies laying eggs! It must have taken a lot of patience. You have shown great detail in their wings and faces. Wonderful to see.

Thank you very much!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Are they both females?!?
Or even the males lay eggs too?

A rare find!
Great story telling factor.
Vibrant illumination.
Cool setting!
Nice diagonal positioning...

Great perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Thank you! The male is in the front, holding onto the female and standing guard as she lays the eggs.

Never seen these insects before, but they do seem to make a handsome couple! Your fine composition offers us an enjoyable look at them. Like the delicate look of the scene. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

A very nice shot that shows this pair in fine detail. The colors are great and the composition is excellent. The scummy looking setting could have been more attractive though.

Wow! What a nice experience to view this scene live. The clarity of this image is excellent and I love the way the reflected light gives the water a mirror like finish.

Wow! Most people are lucky to capture one dragonfly and here you captured two and in the process of laying eggs to top it off! This is super interesting and well captured, I like the way the dragonfly on lefts wigs cross in front of the one on right . This is well focused , the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones are beautiful and appear natural. Very well composed and presented!
