Wowzie Jen. That is one red dragonfly. Hannibal Lector it is. I have never seen one that red. The detail is so clear. I can almost hear it munching. This should do very well. Thanks for sharing.
Wow ... I don't think I've seen a dragonfly with such intense red colors. The detail is superb & I like how it contrasts with the green. Magnificent capture Jen.
This is one beautiful shot of that dragonfly. I've never seen one that is that red before. I've seen blue and green one, but not this color. Wonderful image.

Tell me this ain't your first dragonfly? And you bag a fire engine red one? Do you know how long I have been trying to get a picture of a red one? (Throws her camera down and storms off)
Colors and contrast are really nice. Trying to remember if I've seen a red one before.. can't say that I have.
Might be just me, but the reds in this beauty seem a bit over saturated. Not a major detractor.. just can't make out some minor details on the lower body as a result.
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
It's a real beauty, particularly against the green (looks like Christmas). This breed is the Scarlet Darter (Crocothemis erythrea), and it's likely a male.
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
