the back ground is nice ( just me but i wish the center was a little lighter .) the beautiful wings are like glass with fine paten . the details of head & body are great .& the blue is eye catching a very good job and view . all the best

A beautiful picture of this Dragon Fly with it's blue, white & bronze coloured markings the light dancing off it's shiny skin & highlighting it's gossemere wings & their tiny veins. The blurred greens & yellow making the perfect contrasting backdrop. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

I am glad it landed so you could get this great photo,we have some of these blue darners here, but most of the time the big ones I see are the green darners,the blue is a rare treat! your image is nice and crisp and the softened background is perfect!

Great capture of a Male Emperor Dragonfly Pat!
Great Cloris, fine focus and sweet DOF.
Pretty colors, nice view of his eyes and face. They always look like they are smiling. ;)

Nice work!!

You captured fantastic detail and beautiful color. The blue spots on the tail and the blue eye are especially remarkable. The black spines of the transparent wings are pin-sharp. The glistering light reflections are intriguing. The soft green background is pleasant and emphasizes the insect. The photo is well composed and framed.

a wonderful macro capture Pat! this is very likely a male blue-eyed darner (Aeshna multicolor); but maybe I'm wrong;
outstanding sharp focus and details;

This is a stunning view from above. This dragonfly is gorgeous. I like the way you captured the light and its iridescent blues. I have seen a lot of dragonfly pictures, and I do love them all, but what I really appreciate about this one is the angle.

A very good capture of an insect that doesn't sit for long in one place. Focus is excellent and softening the background served to show the detail in the wings and the beautiful turquoise colors on the body. Very nice.
