Dragonflies Mating

Another in my dragonfly series. These guys are quite addicting and fun to photograph.:)
50% crop...NR.....adjusted contrast. Bg? Sharpness?
All comments most welcome!

Hi Bob - like the dragonflys - perhaps a bit more DOF would have rendered more of the bottom one a little better - some additional sharpening might help, Might tone down the brighter area of the grass stem - it is the brightest part of the image and takes my attention away from the stars of the show.

I like - keep them coming :)

Hi Bob,
This is a sweet capture...agree with Mr. Peters on the techs. Looking forward to your next one...:cool:

Beautiful image, Bob, and agree with Lance's critique. The dragonflies look a little soft to me. The details are there; they just need a little more sharpening to make them shine. Well done!

Terrific capture. I agree that a bit more sharpness is in order.
Cheers
