Beautiful clarity on the Green Darner Dragonfly E! This is the largest one. Your details and colors are fabulous. Your smooth background is superb! Improving with each post you make!
Now, my only wish is that you got the entire dragonfly in your shot. His tail was cut off..that I am saying for next time.
Great camera techs and skill!
Bravo!

Absolutely amazing! Sharp focus.
Nice mixture of green colors and texture. I have not seen a dragon fly like this one. Great shot.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I like the color harmony between the negative space and the positive space, that aspect of the photo is very good. The framing needs to be slightly better, because you have cut of apart of the insect and that takes my eye out of the composition to easily. Would have been a better shot if it were a more be vertical framing/cropping. I am also thinking the focus is slightly off, which makes his head fuzzy and not in crisp, sharp focus.

Eileen, this is a terrific shot of the dragonfly. The markings and the color are tremendous as is the detailed transparent wings. The focus is spot on showing much detail and texture in the leaves. Sharp focus with the green blur background is very nice.

    The crop was accidental. When I pulled away and took more, they were not as sharp. So stuck with this one. Thanks again Michael.
