Kristof, the composition is grand and the right side of the dragonfly is in such sharp focus. Considering these buggers move around, it would be a miracle both would be as sharp. It's very nice and no criticisms here. - Patty

EXCELLENT. Do you have some kind of metal connection with these guys? Every shot you post of dragonflies are always super sharp and have perfect exposure. This is really a beautiful shot. The color and detail are amazing. anne :-)

You surely jest Kristof. I have not seen the like of such a good picture of a dragonfly and I'm really partial to dragonfly pictures. The wings look almost plastic they show up so good. I would be honored to show it off on my desktop.

I have been chasing dragonflies (red and orange ones) lately. But yours (especially the original) with the wings wide open is truly great. I have noticed the wings of the dragonflies glitter like rainbow when looked at specific angle. Would be awsome to capture it one day, don't you think?

Ahhh, insects. They're so complex and detailed that they make for a desktop background that keeps you intrigued. This one is so incredibly in focus that it looks like a computer-generated image. Nice work!

Another great dragonfly portrait Kristof. This is a VERY freshly emerged female Common or Ruddy Darter [Sympetrum striolatum or sanguineum]. Not easy to tell species apart when that young. I doubt she has even made her maiden flight yet given the sheen on her wings. Very nice capture; only one minor point, just apity the right forewing tip is cropped off. Other than this - brilliant.
Cheers,
Steve.
