A pair of excellent photos Ken. I like the first one the best. Nice and bright, beautiful background and the wings are very sharp & crisp.

Thanks Doug.

I could have cropped that first one a little tighter I guess. The second did suffer from DOF but still I like it.

Wow Ken! I almost overlook this!

Beautiful and very well captured. Never saw this kind of dragonfly.

Hi Ken,

both are fine but I do like the first better because it shows a tiny bit more definition (or sharpness if you like) in the wing areas. However, both are well done!

Thanks Nikola, Sven. Yes I noticed Sven that the DOF is not very good in the second image and sharpness does suffer in some areas, I too like the first much better.

Thanks guys!
