Dragonfly from Above

[Christopher Miller]

Lately I've been busy going through my photos, deleting ones that aren't any good and keywording and organizing the rest. I took this dragonfly photo back in September and hadn't gotten around to processing it before. Any C&C are welcome!

Olympus SP-550 UZ
f4.5 @ 1/30, ISO 100, -0.3 EV
Aperture priority mode, pattern metering, cloudy WB
Processed in PS CS2; cropped, curves adjustment, saturation boost, noise reduction on the BG, and cloned out an OOF branch

Hi Christopher The Dfly looks great, would just like seeing a less dominating perch !!! Excellent detail throughout and exposure on the money !!

hi Chris - could just be my eye's but looks a little soft on my screen - gave it a run through GF - does this look any better??

[Christopher Miller]

Thanks Lance, that extra sharpening does look better. What does GF stand for?

Thanks both for your input!

Hi Christopher,
I like the composition and capture, the color rendition is good and I like the symmetrical position of the wings. Your subject is a slight tad on the soft side, Mr. Peters' repost puts it over the top...good show, keep them coming...:cool:
