Really nice shot Allen ……… I'm new to this marvellous forum and reading through the threads I am "picking up" lots on hints and advice.

You seem to have many species of Dragonflies in the US that we do not have in Europe ……. so I look forward to seeing some of these in your postings

Very good detail, composition and warm colours

[Diane Miller]

Gorgeous detail, wonderful composition and over-the-top color matching!!

[David Cowling]

Detail and pose excellent. The way that the colour of the wings and the plant head are almost an exact match is almost uncanny. Beautiful shot.

[Steve Maxson]

Just an outstanding shot, Allen! The pose, light, colors, comp, and background are all first rate! If I was to be super picky, I might wish that the lower part of the perch was as sharp as the rest (with this image, it hardly seems worth mentioning).
