Photographer’s Note
A dragon fly against the backdrop of the lake at Naukuchiyataal in Uttaranchal. This is a macro shot, not a zoom in so I had to be a little careful not to disturb the fly as I pointed the camera just a few inches away from it. (Sharpened, resized and sharpened again.)

Good DoF and superb definition on the dragonflys wings. It's a shame that the wings are cover the dragonflys head but other than that it's very good. Well done!

I really like this. The outline and size of the dragonfly echo the perspective view of the mountain - one so small and one so big. The details in the wings are excellent.

Super photo. You probably had a second to catch this moment. I know, I've tried and failed so far. They are quick little devils.

Excellent capture, exellent contrast and light, I do think that you only should have sharpen the picture once.

Lucky you to capture the wings' mesh so beautifully!
Great idea to place the subject against the mountain background...the difference of scale between the subject and backdrop makes the image interesting.
One can imagine swarms of variously hued dragonflies swirling on top of the lake's waters or the forests!
