Artist's Comments

:excited: I have to share this with you, guys, doesn't matter the quality. :laughing: I know the composition sucks and the background is distracting, but... :w00t: I got my first Dragonfly this year and what a catch it is. :excited: It's beautifully green female Eastern Pondhawk, Erythemis simplicicollis, also called 'Green Jacket'. :aww: It's some 1 3/4" (about 40 mm) long and I never before was close enough to it to take a picture. :laughing: Considering that the tip of my lens has to be between 5 and 7 inches maximum from the subject, I didn't have much hope today, seeing it land in the bushes. I sneaked on it slowly, and moved the camera closer to it even slower, and... I got 4 shots of it before it took off. :boogie: I even managed in this one not to crop its wings. :w00t:

:D So there you do, my first green Dragonfly. :aww:

Wonderful! Makes my dragonfly picture look bad, but eh. I like this type better than the one I found anyways. :D

Oh wow. If that isn't detailed, I don't know what is :) The first instance I saw this... I got the impression of a lady dressed in something made completely from emeralds and jades.

Very lovely shot indeed.

WOW! That is one amazing picture! I have a thing for dragonflies. And the ones I see are dull colored....This one is amazing. The background is fine, I just focused on the dragonfly!
Amazing!
