Another fine look at this df, Allen. All the techs are there, nice bg, and that perch is a winner, along with the pose. Nicely done.

Pretty darn Allen. Almost in the obelisk position with just enough of the eyes showing above the forewing. Awesome photo…Jim

Allen, another great shot. The square crop works for this one, with the position of the DF. That BG really makes him stand out nicely.

What a gorgeous subject – wonderful detail, DOF and perfect BG!

The other dragonfly perch was all one line and this one is bent, but still dynamic and interesting. It all came together - the fact that the wings are transparent enough to see the face is nice, not all species have wings like this and so can be a problem to get the face in view. Great detail and colors, too.
