Hi,
Here's the same emperor laying eggs, similar settings and gear.

Hey Tim,
Really nice angle and pose! I don't even mind the wing motion because you captured it in an excellent position. My only recommendation is to see if you could tone down the 2 brighter areas...sheen on the leaf....this would eliminate any distractions and let us all concentrate on the great action!

[Allen Sparks]

Wow...love this image. great detail and action capture. nice tones. Might try Roman's suggestion of toning down the bright spots on either side of the dragonfly but they really don't bother me that much. Nice!

[Ken Childs]

Tim, this looks great as is but I agree that toning down those 2 bright spots on the wood would take this over the top.

Tim, you forgot your exif data and I'm dying to know what lens you used to capture this. It's amazingly sharp where it needs to be! How close were you? What time of day? What was the lighting like? I'm dying to know...
