Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 9:30 pmExcellent Mark. I didn't realise just how colourful they were.

Your quest is complete. You can't possibly do better than this (can you?). The colours are great, the focus spot on and the bit of twig adds scale wonderfully.

Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 9:50 pmyou will have to float about 3 to 4 feet off the ground and move very very quickly......... the bad news ......... well you know........
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:00 pmMAte that one is awsome... I'd say you best yet as well...
Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:04 pmHave to agree, the best I've seen yet. DOF is excellent, with the background nice and blurred, colours are great to, the red tail against the backbground really stands out. Must have taken ages to find a red tailed one 
The image is also really sharp, with the hairs on the legs nice and crisp.
Well done me says!

Posted: Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:06 pmYour right Mark the spur on leg number 2 about a third of the way up the shaft seems a little bent to me.... back to the drawing board
Bloody beautiful shot my friend the composition, colour and sharpness are terrific. Just love the red dash on its abdomen.
You should be gathering yourself a great series on the dragonfly. I can just see a new coffee table book in the making. Although I'm not sure how it would go down with the coffee and tea cakes
cheers

Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 12:32 amthe only possible improvement would be if it was possible not to get the eyes looking as they do, more diffusion or something?? but I realise that it is an effort just go capture one of these suckers.

Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 5:18 amDOF is very good.a good closeup with Sig200mm but light reflection on his eyes are distracting a little,is it flash?well Sigma lens are realy realy good quality,i uses 105mm version.hope to see more from you later.
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 8:03 amOutstanding!
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 8:45 amThanks for the comments folks.
It is a bit strange the way the eyes look on these things but no flash was used and it was a tad overcast.
Maybe they concentrate the light somehow. Interesting.

Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 8:51 amYou would have to strap a camera to the back of another dragon fly to get a better shot. Amazing !
