The array of colors here is just stupendous. I can see this one blown up and placed on some design studio's wall.

Hi David,
I agree with the previous comments, it has really a spectacular palette of colors!

The pastel colors immediately jumped out at me as well - nice positioning to pull in so much at f/16 David!

It looks like it's been hand-painted. Great closeup shot; I love their eyes.

David,
Super job on this one. Of coarse my favorite view of a dragonfly with the wing lifted to expose the thorax. Was this taken in the wild or in your yard.

The colors make for a very beautiful illustration, but they are way too inaccurate for my taste. There's a very strong blue cast noticable almost everywhere, especially in the perch and white areas of the DF.

Beautiful shot. The previous post may be right about the color accuracy but it sure makes a stunning photo.

I think the color tone works well here. It all depends on what effect you are going for. Congratulations.
