Dragon Fly

[bnnrcn]

David , do you find these ones in the woods or in your garden? They look very cute but I wonder it they harm people? If they are harmless I actually wouldn't mind having such a colourful and cute thing in my house

BTW do you have small pink lizards in your house ? They usually live in southern Turkey where it is warmer and they are cute and harmless, they eat flies . I'm sure you know them already. If you have some of them around I would love to see their macro shots

Thank's Bobo, much appreciated bud

Hi Binnur, you get these in the garden and around water, they don't harm humans but i don't think they make good house pets

I know the little lizards you mentioned, but they mainly come out at night here and you cant get near them They are amazing little creatures, if they loose their tail it grows back again!

Great series David, they are a bit different to the dragonfly shots we see so often, impressive.

I have been a bit quiet lately due to commitments but hoping to get going again soon on the macro front.

Cheers, Grahame

More great shots David.

Many of your shots make me wonder just how you obtain the colouration.and tones. I'm working on that in respect to popular web looks but yours are often different. Nicely so.

I do know of a couple of people who reckon they have been bitten by a dragon fly. Pass. I've seen many in the past and they don't seem to be very interested in people.

Thanks John, the colouration of my images are as is, apart from a very slight touch of vibrance if needed, as i like to keep them as they looked when shot maybe the Turkish versions are slightly different from the U.K?

The way it devoured the fly i certainly wound not fancy a bite but as i said to Binnur, as far as i know, they do not bite us?

Hello David: These are great shots. I particularly like the composition in Number 1. You have really captured the delicate texture of the wings.
