Hi Monika!
I hope Roman G. won't see this picture :-) I think this is what we call Monika style - macro of insects with very interesting BG. Moment is very good, poses of these dragons also, but white clouds, blue sky and green meadows look very nice also. Good use of flash I hope I'll learn it some day :-)

Hi Monika,
As Grzegorz said, here the landscape is a very good complement to the dragonflies. Great composition that shows an interesting behaviour: they do not eat each other!

Hi Monika,
Woow, I saw this on a website somewhere last week :-) Beautiful shot, the flash control here is excellent, exposure on background and foreground is perfect. Wonderful soft colours, great details and excellent DOF. Very nicely framed and a really nice summery feel to this shot.
Cheers,
Adrian

You have again made a great shot and with 2 dragonflies !! Good composition and POV with landscape in BG. I am jalous because sunday I saw a "Libellule" near the lake and she made me run in all directions but I did not succeed in photographing it...
Congratulations Monika and thanks for sharing.

This is an great shot Monika. You have developed a really good technique and these dragons are just another example.
Its certainly unusual to see two females getting friendly, but they are perfectly sharp, while the background is nicely blurred, yet with enough focus to give a sence of the environment where you took it. I'm sure it would do very well at any photo competition.

Another wonderful shot of dragonflies from you ! Sharpness, details and colors are wpnderful, but what I like most are your POV and the BG. It's nice to see this landscape and this sky behind the insects. Very well done !

HiMonika,
A very cool shot :) ! Your composition with the sky and backround looks great. A difficult exposure that you handled very well. Nice colors with the fill flash, and tack sharp detail. Excellent work.

Hi Monika, this shot is fantastic. Your low POV has really given this something special. The blue sky is great and the details are sharp and well exposed. The trees and grass in the background add distance and show us it's natural environment. I know that you are limited with your camera with DOF but I think too often we tend to use a shallow depth of field to blur the background but occassionally it is nice to see shots like this that show it isn't always necessary to do so and this has given depth to your shot and works very well. Finally the shot is very well composed, what more can I say but perfect, definitely one for the favourites. Well done and TFS.
