    With most of my photography focused on birds I have been neglecting one of my favorite subjects so this summer I made a promise to go out and find some dragons. Here is a little Amberwing I found today hopefully I can keep my promise and will be posting a buch of new images

    MK3. 300 f/4 + 1.4TC and 25 mm Ext Tube, 1/80s at f/13, Aperture priority, Evaluative Metered +1, ISO 800, Tripod, Cloned out a very small blade of grass at the bottom of the frame

    Hi Don. Good to see you back with some dragonfly images. This little gal gave you a nice pose from an attractive perch. I also like the comp and the pleasingly OOF, natural-looking background. You might try toning down the bright stripe on the thorax and the tip of the stem. Overall, this is very well done.

    Sweeeeet Don! Bg is killer! I think Steve makes some good tweak suggestions......and while I generally prefer them tighter.......I think the flow on this is excellent. Great job overall and nice to have you back!

    Great looking image, comp, and IQ on this Don. The other day I was trying to get some dragonfly shots, but they just seemed to circle endlessly and would never perch. Must have watch one pair for about 20 mins!
