When ya see these guys around, ya know summer is here. AND, so are the mosquitoes!!! Their favorite food...thank goodness!! We'll take all the help we can get! I got 2 shots of this guy. What's so interesting is how he dramatically changes colors just by the different lighting. You'll see what I mean when I post the next one. I didn't do any post color work. Just Sharpening, contrast and sizing. Thank you for looking, and all your nice comments on my other offerings. Enjoy!!

What a grand shot. The detail is magnificent down to the intricate wing structure.
You also have a dramatic background that enhances the subject matter perfectly with the complimentary coloring.
A splendid photo!

I like it how the picture goes from sharp on the focus point and then a bit blury at the end.

good job

I started making pictures round about march 2006 and then stopped in feb 2007 because I sold my camera to Harm Gunnink who is also a member. I'am now saving money for the sony alhpa a100. Hope you like the pics P.S. is it maybe possible if you have time to also give suggestion on how to improove my pictures but compliments are also good!

Yes, interesting how lighting can play with colors. I guess that's why lighting is so important. :) This is a great shot. Very clear.
