    Th at is a well focused image and lovely colours/details. Very nice indeed, I am also glad there is still a little texture to the background.

    Hi Joseph. Nice colors, good overall sharpness, and a clean background. The slight diagonal of the comp is a plus. Very well done!

    Lovely detailed view of this dragonfly, especially all those veins in the stretched-out wings. Nice simple perch and soft mottled bkgd. Very nicely done!
