Canon 5D, 180mm f3.5 L macro, ISO 200, f8, 1/80th, tripod, cropped a bit, probably about 80% of original size.
Out again this evening. Once again hoping for dragonflies and whilst I saw several flying around I never found one in a good position for photography. I did however come across this Comma who was basking in the evening sunshine and allowed me quite a few different shots from various angles. I thought I would post this side on shot as I quite liked the pose on the leaf.
Hi Sean,
Great pose, looks super alert and proud, ready to chase off any flying object. For me it needs to be more to the right of the frame to give it more space to survey.
Still executed beautifully, I think you should treat us with the full 720 pixels.
Tim I would agree I could do with some room on the right hand side. I was a bit keen, and a bit clumsy, with my quick post yesterday evening and luckily I do have more pixels available on the right. I have put a revised version on the Internet at 720 pixels high ;

I feel this is a better composition, thanks for the comment.

Another fine picture, I agree with Tim But you said you have cropped the image so maybe this can be done. Oh for the joys of Macro.

I think your second post is much better, an absolute cracker, in fact!
Best wishes
