Nice capture. Sharp where it needs to be, with lots of great face detail.

I liked the colors on your photo of a juvenile damselfly, and I like them here too. Everything is nice and sharp were it needs to be. Well done. :smile:

really nice POV. Great capture Herb! Reinforces my belief that the most bizzare creatures created by science fiction have nothing on nature :smile:

The color, sharpness and slight off position of the dragonfly work very well in this image. No nits here!

Thanks for posting.

I love the sharp focus in the face, and who would every have imagined the amazing details in the eyes! Very nicely done, and what great detail! I also like that wings are out of focus and nicely ethereal in the background, but still show that wonderful zig zag detail.

Wonderful image Herb, I tried this myself recently with damselflies.
Been thinking of selling my 5 year old Sigma 150mm for your model, every millimeter counts here..
Well done :toast: :toast:
