Buna Bogdan,
Foarte faine detalii, un sharp impecabil si un moment dificil de surprins, dar foarte reusit.

Not your best shot, my friend, but not bad at all.

Hahahaha! Just joking!

This is perfect, period. Whole body is razor sharp and perfectly lighted. BG is superb. Colours are superb. Everything is just stunning! You must be very proud of this shot Horia! This is one of best d-flies shots I've ever seen! Big congratulations.

Hello Horia,
Congratulations on not only taking a good shot of A. isoceles, but of taking it in flight that shows it all with fine sharpness, except for the wings in action. Fantastic, man!
I have been looking for this species in my area and saw one but before I could take a shot it disappeared like an arrow!
You inspire me to try again!
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Hello Horia,
You did really well to capture this beauty in flight! Excellent focus on the lovely green eyes and I like the soft green background! It's hard to spot here but I managed to get a fresh specimen settled once and was thrilled!!
Well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulola

Hi Horia.
Excellent post. I like both picture and short story about its execution. Quality of the shot is really great. Despite the large aperture value DOF is very good and all main parts of the cute dragonfly are in focus and crisp sharp. Bravo, well done. Unfortunately near my countryside house (where I usually take pictures( dragonflies are almost absent second year. May be sometime I will be happier. My kind wishes and TFS.

Hi Horia,

An excellent inflight capture,one that I still wait for,but for the moment not so many at this time yet,the colors,BG,POV are all superb.

a remark concerning teleconvertor,

If you use a (2x) teleconvertor you lose 2 stops of light however the dof does not multiplie by 2 when using one (dof will be shallower,about 2 times),

Regards,
Paul

Hi, This reminds of the picture that i had posted about couple of months back. This is an excellent shot of a dragon in flight, i like the way you have managed to keep the entire body in focus

This is a real masterpiece in photo-macrography Horia, a perfectly sharp and well exposed image against an abstract, greenish BG., and that of a flying d.fly! A superb job my friend, thank you indeed for sharing this one.

Hello Horia,
Yesterday I didn't had any points left. So I waited till today, because I like this photo very much. Amazing beautiful colours: Clear in the hawker, blurred in the OOF BG. Excellent sharpness and details in a great composition and taken from a very good POV. High quality!
Regards,
Peter

Hi Mae,
i tried to get an inflight shot of a DF at the weekend, man it's difficult! How you got this with such clarity and sharp details amazes me. Classic Horia photography, that new lens in your hands works magic :o)

Hi horia,

This blows me away. Perfect in flight shot. Excellent details and pin sharp from head to tail.

I was with mr haynes at the time he is reffering to, and i think we both failed miserably to catch any dragon flies in flight! you will have to give us some tips.

Top notch!

Hi Horia,
so it can be done, picturing a free flying Dragon fly in perfect sharpness. It is hard work, I know from experience. My heartfelt compliments go to you for this excellent and unique shot.
My best regards
