Hi Starry,

I can't see your picture either but I am assuming it is the same as the dragonfly picture on your web page so I'll comment assuming it is and hope I haven't got it wrong :o)

It's a lovely picture and the clarity is excellent. Only slight shame is the wing (as shown on your site anyway) is cropped so we don't get to see the whole of the creature. But despite that, it's an excellent effort so well done. I also like the other pics on your site. Keep up the hard work that you're obviously doing on your Photography course as I am certain you've got exactly what it takes to be an excellent photographer :o)

Cheers,
Rob

There you go guys its sorted!

Rob Barron · 14-11-2006, 14:29

Ah, it isn't the wing that is cropped, just the shadow :o) Well composed and well done for getting in so close on the shot. Good work

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob. I'm really greatful for all your comments!

You must have a good lens to get this close. I have tried but they always fly away before I can get a shot.

I must say I am a beginner compared to most people here I think. I have got a lot to learn but that's ok, that's why I came and joined. I think I can learn from you all.

Super stuff, I like it a lot.
That said, I am a big fan of dragonflies.

STARRYCHAR · 16-11-2006, 18:43

I used my digital camera to take this shot. Came out quite good didnt it. When the pic is bigger you can see so much more detail its beautiful!

Thanks for all your lovely comments!

P-E · 16-11-2006, 19:24

Nice shot.

Soupdragon · 17-11-2006, 07:13

If you get a chance perhaps you could try a tighter crop.

Very nice shot, they are not the easiest of insects to capture.
