Lights a bit harsh Ian and you're running out of DoF towards the tail end, but it's nice to see one at last.

HI Ian, colours and Background are really good. Nice detail around the head. i agree with andys comments, nice start to the dragon fly season. although IMHO, i dont find the DOF distracting at all.

So thats why you were up there ...
I think its a belter. Technically Andy's got more than the edge on me for dragons ( and so many other things for that matter.LOL.) .BUT its a very pleasing image.

Very nice Ian the harsh light doesn't bother me in this image.

I agree with Andy re. the DOF and harsh light, but still an attractive image. Nicely taken.

Nice image and colours.

Nit covered but nice one Ian. A lot of folks obviously missed the one I posted 2 weeks ago. Mind you it was on a Saturday night which is the worst night for posting I think.
