    :) thanks for this "golden" review Super :)
Comment from Sange


I love the diagonal framing of this and the smooth smokey green background. Focus is a bit too soft for me on the face and body. the clarity is mostly on the tail and wings.
It is not easy shooting these dragons, I know..But Since I LOVE you I get to tell you It is a nice shot but I will always PUSH you for pin sharp focus.
I give you the 5 because it is not a throw away shot. But I will hold you to the sharp focus at all times.
OK? Well done despite my comments.

Very nice shot of this golden dragonfly with great diagonals of the branches and his body. Love the rich colors. Great focus and details. Wonderful dof.

Comment from Taff Murray


Lovely muted tones. So used to seeing brightly coloured blues, purples and reds that this comes across quite different. Well taken shot with great DoF control. Focal point seems ever so slightly off as the head seems minorly (is that a word?) soft. Framing really good. Great job.

    LOL seems like a good word to me... thanks so much Andy. A bit soft perhaps but usable. ;)

A challenge to get good shots on these critters. Like your soft green background, good frame and focus with a nice exposure. Very well done.
