I've had a bit of a hiatus from Caedes, though I'm glad to be back. This dragonfly was by far the least skittish insect I've ever photographed, unlike my other dragonfly pictures. Please, leave comments and suggestions, criticize whatever you wish, as that's the only way I can become better. Must be seen fullscreen.

I agree with Morwyn in that I see nothing wrong with this photo. I wouldnt call myself a dragonfly expert tho...just your average kid..who visits caedes a lot...I love the pose the dragonfly done for you. I give it a 10.

An instant favorite....If all the insects in my backyard didn't want to bite me, and I took a photo, I'm sure it wouldn't be this good. Awesome

So that's how they get strong enough to flap their wings the way they do. Nice photo Michael! 10/10

That's what I called a gymnastic dragonfly. Good picture, I saw many dragonflies this season but never in this position! Good focus and background too. 10/10

No,unfortunately, I know nothing about cropping...I stick to what I know,and try not to mess anything else up. Gimp's cropping option is daunting to say the least...

This is fun. Had to show it to my daughter the gymnast. Actually all of my daughters and there were giggles all around. So, thanks for that and we'll save this little thing. ;)

I do not see anything wrong at all here. This is a wonderful capture and the fine detail displayed leaves my eye to look on many things. Great view and such clarity. Nicely done work. High marks from me!!

What a neat dragonfly! First thing I noticed was his good stance :) Nice clarity & neat cobwebs on the branch. All round fun image. Thanks for a big smile!
