Todays best effort.

Well, if that's the best you can do ...

Really excellent shot, not easy. Lovely and sharp on the thorax and head with great DoF. Colours good, pleny of detail.

I'm jealous.

cheers

I really think you caught this one. Usually you see dragonflies with their wings spread open. This one isn't....like it just sailed in for a landing. Well done

Great one Soupy. And I suppose you're going to tell us that was taken with your Instamatic.

***Dave*** · 15-09-2007, 21:53

Pray tell me which lens, as excellent shot

JMitchell · 15-09-2007, 23:40

Best effort?

just kidding. Great shot, detail is nice and colours are very rich, without looking over sat.'ed

Soupdragon · 16-09-2007, 05:54

Thanks for looking all!

The shot was from about 300 yards with the kit lens.

Excellent exposure and detail

Very nice! Good and sharp in all the right places and a great BG!

Soupdragon · 16-09-2007, 12:01

If I am not very much mistaken, it's grinning!

A shy insect trying to cover it's face with it's wings! Nice image!
