This is a great close up. The details are sharp. I like how well that honeycomb pattern and texture stands out. The fuzzy areas and the colors look good too.

Very nicely done with the crop. I like the colors and the way that you composed it. They are very hard to capture as I know from experience. Good work.

Sometimes these guys will pose forever while you shoot your shots, other times they won't sit still for a second. Last year I got very few shots. When they sit still it's like heaven on earth! I'm thrilled you enjoyed this shot. Thank you for the wonderful review!

The eyes are sharp captured. I could count their facets. The close up and center positioning gives the photo the appearance of an abstract. The soft background emphasized the insect well. The composition is balanced and adequately framed.

Hi Seshadri, Luckily for us dragonflies love to eat mosquitoes. That's definitely something we can all be grateful for. Thank you for the absolutely wonderful six star review! You have totally made my day!

Comment from GaliaG
pity the background is too bright and not blur enough, it distracts a bit
also, the focus on the insect eyes is very soft
thanks for sharing

Looks like you enjoyed the shot, just didn't like the softness and the bright background. I appreciate you telling me what you like and don't like so hopefully I can do a better job! Thanks Galia! :o) Helvi

Wow Nancy, this is an incredible macro of this dragonfly with such outstanding detail in the eyes. Very well done! It's so interesting to see all the facets and the rest of the amazing structures this up close! Fantastic capture!

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine, full and central composition grants us a very enjoyable view of your beautiful dragonfly. The detail provided by your settings is very wonderful. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!

Dang Nancy! Were you riding on its back? LOL! Great closeup. The focus on the eyes is very good and it looks like you had perfect lighting. A very interesting shot.

Yes I was riding on it's back! How did you know? LOL Sometimes your subject is just positioned perfectly and you can get shots you normally wouldn't. It's kind of cool when things work out that way! Thank for the wonderful review My Friend! :o) Nancy
Comment from michiganmike
A great overhead perspective and a beautiful composition. I like the bit of wing in the corners and the way those multifaceted eyes seem to glow. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Patti C
Well, your focus is wonderful. Look at all those little fine hairs around the eyes. Color is very well managed and nicely saturated. Good shallow depth of field to show your subject off. It's a very nice photo. Good luck in the contest
