EXCELLENT E! WOW! I love the smoothness of this. Great wing detail and those eyes!
Great framing and nice capture of this Blue Beauty. I love the green background . I think the bright green spot on left is a wee bit over exposed, But it is a fine shot!

Great macro of this dragonfly. I love the colors and the light behind him seems to light him up. The turquoise blue is so cool. I also love the angle you got of him sitting on the plant with his wings in a downward position. Great job.

Your closeup of the dragonfly is
excellent. I think they have the funniest looking faces which can definitely be very mesmerizing. You captured the detail of the veins in the wings beautifully. Very well done.

Comment from JB Stevenson
I do like it. Love the vivid green hue of the leaf, almost like a spotlight on the drangonfly. Love the transparent wings which you captured so well. Excellent composition. Good focus and clarity.

I like this picture. It's a great shot of a dragonfly. I think they're so hard to get pictures of because they flit around so much. I love the colors to this photo. JD

Comment from supergold
a wonderful close up of this mesmerizing dragonfly to make Jairos jealous; good lighting and pin sharp focus; would be a six * without the leaf across;
