Crisp focus and tight crop makes this a interesting shot for the observer. The details for the dragonfly gives minute details not usually seen as they buzz around. That fact you got close enough to get this great shot, you must walk very softly.

Very cool close up of this dragonfly! Great clarity. I like the the plain subdued backdrop allowing him to stand out without distraction. Great capture!

A very nice looking dragonfly. I like this perspective that shows the veins in the wings in such fine detail. Nicely cropped with great colors. Good luck in the contest.

This close-up is excellent. I am impressed by the sharpness of detail and the realism of light and color. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. The eyes and the transparent wings are especial interesting. The insect is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Awesome photograph of this dragonfly. The detail is sharp. You can see the lines on the wings. Good focus and lighting. All colors and tones are natural. Well done.

I have a cool idea...take all your dragonfly captures and create a short lil video..it would be cool if could use the theme my music to "game if thrones" for the background while flipping the images . That would cool huh? The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The angle of the shot of this dragonfly is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Fred,
A beautiful stop action picture of the Black-tail Skimmer Dragonfly walking along the branch the sun shining through it's gossamer wings & catching the sparkle in it's eye. It's shadow seen beneath it. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan
