Hi Gloria,
I hope you're doing fine wherever you are ;-))
I've never seen a dragonfly as red in colour as this chap, but I sure wish I had.
Sharpness seems okay, but your DOF range is too limited for a beast like this. You're not listing the settings, but with that camera I don't think even your max F-8 would be sufficient from this angle. Anyway, well done in the circumstances ;-))

Good photo, Gloria, like Milloup, I never see a dragonfly as red like the one you took. It got great colour and the sharpness of the picture clearly show the lines along the wing. I like it. Thanks for sharing.

what a nice picture. coloures of a dragon are wonderful. Litle more brightness will be maybe better.

Hello Gloria, nice shot. What a great looking dragonfly a little more light might be good but it's a great catch anyway.

As for the ID I think the genus Neurothemis might be a good place to start looking. I have a picture in my book of Neurothemis stigmatizans (in Malaysia) that looks identical to this one but I don't know much at all about Dragonflies in that area so there is a chance that I am mistaken.

Well done

Hi Gloria,

An excellent pic of this odonata. Amazing colour. Liked the deep red. The abdomen looks as if this guy had LED implanted and glowing in him :-).
TFS, Kiran

Hi Gloria, excellent photo. Good DOF. POV and Focus. Lighting could have been a little better, but still a good photo. Strange coloured wings. Havent seen any fully coloured wings on a dragonfly. Well done and keep shootin!!

I have never seen a red dragon fly before, did not know they existed. Have just been to Angkor Wat myself, but missed this one. Great picture!
