Dragon on a Perch Photo

Photographer’s Note

I posted another view of this little guy on TrekLens (Click here). I found him perched on this little stick. He was very patient with me taking several pictures of him.

Hi Stephen, I'm glad to see you on TE again. And you came back with a great shot, excellent macro work. The clear wings and the amazing color of the dragonfly body are stunning, as well as the pose and the DOF. Very good job.

Well Stephen, it's been awhile, but great to see a new photo from you. Good close-up of the dragonfly, and you sure found a presentation and cropping that makes it fill the frame to the very best. Great color and light setting, and the textural detail in the wings is particularly well rendered. Very nice.

Belle image de cet anisoptère, la construction est parfaite, manque une légère mise au point mais san péjorer la qualité de l'image. Amicalement/jr

la posture de la bete est intéressante, par contre je trouve qu'elle manque de contraste avec l'arrière plan

Le cadrage est trés beau et la position de cette libellule interessante pour la prise.
Je trouve un petit manque de netteté egalement mais rien de bien mechant.
Bravo pour l'approche de cet insecte Stephen
