Delicate Wings (Best viewed larger)

In this picture, I was trying to capture this beautiful insect's wings in the

best way possible, and finally decided that I liked this view the best. It is

also amazing how well it camouflages and blends in with the grass.

Please view larger for the best effect. C&C welcome

excellent macro, very beautiful, perfect green+black :)

... very good macro ...

Very nice details!

Incredible definition! Beautiful greens and blacks. simply wonderful!

Nice macro...I wish you could blur the background...still very nice.

Thanks all for your comments.

 

Masood - I wish I could blur the b/g too! He was too jittery and preferred sitting on the grass. It was a challenge to get close without scaring him off, also a reason to shoot from behind. He lives in my backyard, and I hope to catch him sitting at a height one of these days!

Hello my friend! It is an outstanding macro photo, the details of the wings are very sharp, even with the background being a bit distracting it is not interfering on the details of this beautiful dragonfly. Very good. God bless you.

Great macro shot, it really is best viewed larger where we can see the fine details of the wings perfectly, beautiful colours too

A natural...lacework!...A wonderful shot!..Ciaomau!
