Dragonfly

[Herb Houghton]

These were at the Wallkill River NWR. Canon 1d mark III, 500 f4, 1.4x II extender, iso 400, F10, 1/200 from a tripod with 580EX attached to body, flash set at manual, high speed sync, 50mm,+2. The shot was at minimum focus of 14 feet and slight crop from full frame vertically.

[Bruce Murden]

Lovely capture, and good crop here. It's both a nice image of the 'flies, and a nice graphic with the stiff but angled branch and the curving details of your subjects. Nice job!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Stunning subjects!

Sharpness is great as well as colors and compo.

A job well done.

[Julie Kenward]

Very nice, Herb. Only suggestion would be to try to clone out or tone down the evidence of flash near their eyes. Colors and comp are wonderful!

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Herb,
Very nice comp on the mating DF!... Very well done and sharp where it needs to be.

[Ed Vatza]

What on earth are they doing? :o:D

Very nice image. Terrific details and colors. Background looks great.

Two thumbs up! Well done.

[Mike Moats]

Hey Herb, excellent details and perfect BG. Well done.
