    Following up the earlier post of a male with this female. Shot it a couple days ago. I like the perch - a little different than the usual dead stick.

    Decided on a square crop for this. Any comments appreciated...

    You nailed it Allen absolutely superb. I quite like the crop but would also like to see a landscape and portrait version - great shot well done, super focus and details, background idyllic.

    Allen:

    This is great, the perch is nicely scaled and colorful, the dragonfly displays great, colors in bg play well with both.

    How was this lit?

    Cheers

    Wonderful -- sharpness, color, all top-notch! The square crop works for me here, but you could also try a version with the flower just a squeak more off-center, moved to the right.
