Image shot a couple of years ago with a Canon Power Shot SX100 IS,F4.3 Portrait at 80 ISO.Ferns are located near the porch. I have since moved on up in equipment quality but thought the image turned out okay.No Tripod. Comments are always appreciated.

Thank You.

Beautiful dragonfly! I like your comp and his perch on the fern. The green fern makes for an interesting BG for the green dragonfly. Good details on the body of the dragonfly. The lighting feels a little harsh to me but you can't always have what you want when the opportunity presents itself. :smile:

BTW welcome to NPN! It's a great place to learn. Keep posting!

The green on green works pretty well here, and, although the light is strong, it resulted in interesting reflections on the wings.

Nice shot. A diffuser screen would soften the light, but that would also probably scare the little guy away!
