Sortie No. 1. Common name - Four-spotted Pennant (Brachymesia gravida.) Best view larger

Just like a helicopter landing on it's target. In this case a yellow

flower in the background. Love the glossy shine on it's wings. The

wind was blowing hard but I managed to get this clear one after many

tries.

Alec, nice macro, great colors. Cheers, Sondra

Good photo of a difficult subject

Good colors, and good detail level.

nice capture, bokeh!

Excellent and interesting to look at. I like the blurred yellow flower.

Good details and color. The flower actually works well because it is off center enough not to cause distraction.

Nice dof and capture Alec

Alec, great background which makes the dragonfly stands out even more.

macro, Alec. Look at the lace of those wings: stunning.

Very good work Alec. You have a natural affinity for colorful (and sometimes color-intensive) work. This one brings out the color, combines with sharpness and a good composition. I loved the yellow flower in the back that adds depth and life to the scene in general.

Excellent shot Alec, congratulations, greetings, Hector

Very good definition and color the detail of the wings...10

A greeting
