I saw this creature sitting in the forest this afternoon. It is not a macro, just my 17-55 mm zoom.

Agree - the clarity is more than on target, Paul. Are you using an SLR digital? And when you say 17-55 zoom, you're not talking about the "standard" 18-55mm that comes on most SLR digitals? Even with new glasses and adjusting the diopler, I'm never really sure of the focus. What strikes me here is that the entire dragonfly, though on slightly different planes, is in sharp focus. Could you describe to me how you approach shooting such a subject. I've always been interested in macro photography. Sorry - back to you image - Wonderfully executed, Paul. - Patty

It's all about perspective and perception.
Yes, I too would like to know what camera you took this shot with and what the answers are to Patty's questions, if you wouldn't mind sharing that. Thanks. It is a wonderful shot and I tried using a 18-55mm on butterflies, but I can't seem to get this close with it.

"Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass." Walter Pater
I have TWO beautiful desktops out of this! One of them is simply the wondeful shot as it is. The other...
Well, I zoomed in on that delicate wing and took just a section of that. I made 4 copies, rotating each one so as to join them together into a seamless tile. THAT tile, itself tiled on my desktop, looks better than a bevelled-glass window!
Thank you.

love sweet love
I am literally bugged out about the richness, clarity, and phenomenal sharpness of your image. I suspect my Canon A700 even in the most skilled hands couldn't come close to matching this. I understand the new Canon EF-S f2.8 IS lens is fantastic; I wonder if you could be using.....

WOW! So close and so sharp! You must have some camera. Not to take away from your natural photographic skills of course.

Really about the best I"ve seen Paul. You nailed that one perfectly.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Good capture with nice depth. A very good capture.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Ok well I love the green background in this one also!

Very well done.
