Description
More from Lowe’s Water Gardens. There was a bit of a breeze so I boosted the ISO and had to apply quite a bit of denoise. I was pleasantly surprised by how the BG pond was rendered. >=))>

Wonderful image, Bill. The closeup detail is excellent. The water backdrop is a real plus on the scene location and genre of the image in general. And yes, the water came out really harmonious. I’m fine with the noise you mentioned also… 
The pond water is superb, Bill. The lower near wing blurs the body a bit, but otherwise the detail is superb. The composition is gorgeous.
This is a really nice shot, Bill. That Water Garden you are going to is really providing you some nice opportunities and you are taking full advantage of them. That water in the BG just really makes him stand out so nicely in his environment. Nice details in the DF and the leaf.
This is sweet! Lovely, unique BG that adds a huge appeal. The 'fly is tack-sharp and in a perfect position on a perfect leaf. Just a spectacular image!
Great Image Bill. Dragonflies seem to be popping up on the NPN lately. Sharp really nice composition. BG works really nice. Has some movement . Really cool. Your DeNoise works great. Im trying to learn more about that. Amazing Image!!!
It looks great to me Bill. Cool shot, and great BG water.
Wonderful capture with great detail and harmonious colors. The water is gorgeous. Only nit is that my eye tends to jump between the lighter area in the UR and the stem in the LL. I would crop a little from both top and right to remove the light area and I think the LL corner would be easy to fix by cloning or the remove tool.
