Summer was here for a day and I chased this freshly emerged female Broad-bodied Chaser - Libellula depressa around the garden, much to the amusment of one of our dogs! The lh lower wing is slightly oof as I couldn't get the plane quite parallel or a distracting stem appeared in the composition.
The OOF lower wing does not bother me it would have been nice for it to have been in focus, perhaps stopping down to f8 or so, I am more bothered by the bright perch above the DF, that may well be worth toning down.
Lovely glowing colours and a very nice specimen...
A well caught image, the slightly OOF wing is not a major problem, I didn't initially notice it. Only nit for me is the birght highlights in the perch above the insect are a bit distracting so it might be worth trying Phil's suggestion and toning this area down.
The bright highlight has been mentioned already but doesnt really detract from what is essentially a good macro shot, the slightly oof wing not really a problem as the eye tends to focus around the body itself.
