Elaine van Dyk, 10 months ago

velveteagle, this is sooooo beautiful. I love the detail in the wings, and those eyes and head are stunning. Very fortunate and lovely color combinations with the green of the body and the pink flower the dragon fly is sitting on. The green leaf at the botton really balances so nicely with the green dragon fly body as well!

Geoffrey, 6 months ago

Great image, I love dragonflies and yours is great.

Increasing your magnification increases your troubles (in a way). When upgraded I found I can get greater detail out of an image e.g. you’ll get great compound eye shots one the dragonflies however to fit the whole dragonfly into a single frame becomes a lot more tricky (and lots more throw-aways, digital it’s cheap to throw-away thankfully).

Vincent Vartor..., 6 months ago

Macro is one of my favorites and this one is outstanding! Great focus, clarity and colors.

velveteagle, 6 months ago

Thanks for the comments and also information. I look forward to spring and the chance to work with macro on many things. I have a new device for super macro.. this will be fun to play with also.. Thank God for Digital.. LOL
