Dragonfly

Hi guys, not getting much time to post or comment at the moment as I have family visiting from Scotland!

Anyway here is a Dragonfly I captured last October C&C Welcome!





Cheers David...

Very nice expression on the face of your subject, David...the demographic changes when it comes to family, so do not feel guilty for not posting until you have the time. Just my opinion, pal...(and if I make another mistake typing that 'opinion' word again, I will end my internet session quickly too! )

[Dave Humphries]

Very nice David,

I was going to ask whether you had used fill flash, but then I checked the EXIF data and confirmed that you had.

I have a mental image of you lying flat on your back beside its regular perch and waiting patiently until it returned to get this unusual viewpoint and light angle.

Whatever it took, well done.

Cheers, Dave

Hi David I love the golden light on the wings and the details are super.

[Chri5]

+1 on what Binnur said. For some reason it evokes feelings of my childhood. I cant for the life of me think why but the light reflections on the wings definitely have something to do with it.

Heck of an angle , but all done , it is a great capture.

[Shadowman]

Nice capture. Show the family what you do and how you share your images online, that will get you an opportunity to interact with your family and us.

Common Darter female? But you do get a few which are absent from the UK.

Cheers everyone for the kind comments

The youngest member of the family is only six months, so we are enjoying every minute of having him here, well except for the crying bits

Excellent David, an unusual angle that worked well. Love the highlights in the wings.

Cheers, Grahame

He looks like he is holding on for dear life. Nice shot.
