I love dragon flies! I can't believe how many varieties there are! The colors and markings are so unique! What a lovely capture of an insect that rarely sits still for long!
Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful capture my friend :~). It does not have a care or worry in it's beautiful little body. Fluttering from object to flowers with elegance and grace. Your depth of field is amazing here. You did a wonderful blur of the background which really makes one focus on the Beauty of this dragonfly. To me this looks like a winner for sure. Just SO BEAUTIFUL. Best of Luck and Flutters too in the contest. Blessings Always my sweet Friend ~ Cindy Sue â?¢

This is an exquisite close up.
The photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I am impressed by the refinement pf detail and the realism of color. I see even the vines in the wings. The shallow background emphasizes the insect remarkably. The tight framing is adequate. The Dragonfly is perfectly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Nancy,
A beautiful stop action picture of the blue bodied Dragon fly alighted on the top of the stem, the sunlight from above highlighting it's blue abdomen ,the sparkle in it's blue eyes & shines through it's gossamer wings showing off the fine veins against the blurred greens of the background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

A very nice subject (I think it is a male skimmer). I like this perspective and the fine detail in both the wings and the body. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Zilyram
Very tight framing of the dragonfly but still enables us a clear view of the wing details shown with clarity. Focus is good and the color appears to be realistic.

Hi Mary, I could have eased off on the tightness of the shot some, but I really wanted to show the dragonfly off. I know I should be a little more careful about that! Thanks for reminding me! Thanks for the great review! :o) Nancy

A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of your dragonfly and its location. Like the wing detail. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done and good luck!
