Gr8 focus and DOF.I like background alot...
But the dragonfly looks too dark IMO

Nice catch!

The background is a bit distracting imo.

Also agree with Jafus about playing with levels for the dark zone (dragonfly only).

Nice details on the wings and body.

A well captured Dragonfly. Good composition and exposure. The background is good. Could be better, but you can smoothen it. I think the colours are too saturated.

Yep, yep, dragonflys are nice!

nice

Nice colors..
The back looks saturated

Nice composition and details. The dragonfly looks a little dark and the colours look a little oversaturated.

Maybe it needs more higlights....still great capture and very nice composition!
Good work Yves!
Carlos

That was my first try. I appreciate your crits.

I like the pose of the fly. Colors and composition are good.

I like this compo but i think that the dragonfly looks a bit blury, also a closer shot woul work better IMO...!!
Well done..!!

Great colors and nice composition!

nice work +8

Nice colors

Ahhh . one of my favorite subjects! This is a species of Meadowhawk (Sympetrum) I feel that the dragonfly is a bit too dark and some of it's details are obscured. Still ... a very nice photo with an attractive background and a pleasing composition.
