Hi from the C Club

Well, wow, I loved this shot and gave it an 8 when in voting. Here are the reasons why.

It is an outstanding shot, the crispness is defined in the wings, the clarity is excellent, your bokeh is smooth as butter and compliments the dragon flys well.

My only nitpick was the DOF, maybe just a tweak of the contrast would have given it a deeper feeling. Maybe pushing those greens to a darker colour would have helped.

Other than that, spot on shot!!! Do it again!
