Dragonfly @ 400mm

[Dave Phillips]

....or some sort of dragonfly. Out of my area here. Shot from van window at about 15ft,
just above mfd for this lens and didn't have any tubes with me. Rested on beanbag.
Hot evening sun, ISO 800, f/11, 1/400, +.67EV

critique much appreciated as always
(BTW, that's not halo on the tail and the branch was way hot)

[Gus Cobos]

Excellent as always Dave,
I like the razor sharp details on the wings and the colors hues on your subject...good show Sir...:cool:

[Bill Whitney]

Dave....wonderful capture here. Great detail and nice lighting.

[Dave Phillips]

thanks Gus and Bill...this is original uncropped, I was really surprised at detail

[Fabs Forns]

Four Spotted Pennant?

Pretty good detail for the crop!

[Steve Foss]

Dave, that's great. I like the crop, and the BG plays equally well setting off the warm tones of the dragonfly's body and the highlights and blacks in the wings.

[Mike Moats]

Hey Dave, image held up very well for that tight of a crop. Good details, and framing.

[Dave Phillips]

thanks for comments.....an d Fabs, I will look up the 4 spotted

[Steve Wheeler]

Hey Dave... Great detail and composition. I agree the BG really sets this off too.

Nicely done!

Terrific shot, the composition and colours the exposure, I also like the subtle frame colour which complimens the dragonfly. All round cracker of a shot!
