This is a great shot of the Dragonfly. The only thing I would recommend is to crop a bit more off the right side....the expanse of the light color is distracting.
a very cool shot of the dragon fly. usually i'd like to see them more from the front, but this is great with the colors and texture (wish you could submit this next week?) of the wings. two small nitpicky things to remove (outside of this challenge of course) would be to clone out the bottom left and top right corner. my top 10 this week. -- gr8photos (9)
Great shot! (Better than the one I didn't submit, whew!) Very good wings!!!! I like the blue kind better, but I couldn't get one to sit still, either. 10 Swash
by far the best macro I have seen this week. The depth of field and the sharpness is right on the money. The only thing that keeps me from giving a ten on this photo was out of your control... I dont think the background works well... the blur is good but the uneven color and contrast is a bit distracting from your subject... = 9 - jmsetzler
Beautiful. The only distracting element is in the lower right, but you can't crop it without losing part of the dragonfly. Great focus and clarity. The green bud gives it just the right amount of bright color I think. karmat
Wow! Really nice capture -- these guys flit around so fast I don't know how you were able to get this photograph! Beautiful colors and detail. One of my favorites this week -- 10. (LanSnake)
Great shot! I spent hours wandering around my back yard trying to take pictures of fireflies so I can really appreciate the effort that went into this one. 10
I've shot close to 200 pix of dragonflies trying to get as good a shot as this. Well done. (And thanks for raising the bar! I'll aim a little higher now)
