Excellent first post, very clean and crisp. Very impressed with your garden. Most jealous.

Welcome to the forum, I too wish I had a garden like yours that could produce shots like this :smile: Maybe cropped a little bit too tight to the dragonfly but still a great shot. Look forward to seeing more of your images.

Great image regardless of it being your first here, although you might want to check the posting guidelines for size - I think from memory the max is 720 on the longest edge and this looks a little bigger than that to me.

Regards

Hi and welcome, a nice first post, a tad tight for me and the bg competes just a little but I do appreciate how difficult it is to get clear images of these, must be great to have them in your garden.

All the best

This is the first time that I have ever seen a dragonfly and I hope that it wont be the last I have a fast flowing stream near the bottom of my garden so chances are I could be in luck :wink:

Hi Jacqui, welcome to the forum. A cracking first post. As already mentioned by some, a tad tight in the frame for me too, but good detail and sharpness and the colours look great. Really good image :toast:
