Courtship in flight

[Galliani Carlo]

Hello everyone
Crocothemis erythraea male and female
It's not a very macro because I used 500mm
1/800s f/4.5 at 500.0mm iso400

Wow, Carlo! It's hard enough to photograph one dragonfly in flight, but to get two of them interacting is pretty special! Nice use of the 500 mm "macro." :S3: Good exposure and excellent background. Nice sharpness on the male (red) and I don't mind the softness of the female. In an ideal world, I would wish that the female's wing wasn't partially covering the male's face, but there wasn't anything you could have done - and it's a minor point. Overall, this is very well done!
