Common darter (Sympetrum striolatum) (M)

[Jonathan Ashton]

Hand held , he had just finished a patrol and was resting for a few moments on water mint in the garden pond. I was tempted to fix the shadow in the top left - perhaps I should have!

Solid protrait here. Solid background. Would be tempted to remove that small dark spot upper left. Nice and sharp with good details.

[Ravi Hirekatur]

Great image! very sharp with very nice colors and background. Nice composition. Love the details on both dragonfly and the perch. Agree with John on removing the dark area of just crop it off.
