    Looks great on this end Allen! Sharp and enough DOF yet shallow enough to allow for the sweet BG! Very nicely done!

    Hi Allen. I agree with Roman - this is looking great with good sharpness, a double diagonal comp, and a very nice background. If this was mine, I'd be tempted to clone some of the specular highlights on the wings, but overall, this is very well done.

    A really beautiful image and I like it very much indeed I think the composition and colours are excellent. The more I look at the body however I think it is not quite sharp - don't get me wrong I think it is a great shot but I cannot help but think the body lacks critical sharpness. Maybe I am being a little too critical - what do you think?

    Hi Jonathan, yes, towards the end of the abdomen it starts to soften in focus....thus my comment about wanting a slightly different angle...but this was the best I could get of this species. Thank you for your comment.

    I like the pose, DOF looks good for me. Nice dragonfly, sharp, well captured. Very good BG.
