The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
This species is one of the easier meadowhawks to ID with some certainty. Dragonfly season is winding down and Sympetrum species are still easy to find. Unfortunately, I could not get this guy shaded by my shadow nor did my fill flash fire. pretty good detail with a nice fall colored BG.
Specific Feedback
I left the highlights on the hindwing, but could remove them if so desired. How do you like this comp with my limitations due to the lighting present. Thank you for looking!

Jim: What a fantastic dragon and an equally terrific capture. The highlights are a non-issue. There is a new tool in PS for removing dust spots that works really well. With the Camera Raw Filter, go to the remove tool and it gives you the option to remove dust. It finds the spots and removes them. The feature is not yet available in Lightroom but is expected soon. Great find here with good plane of focus control and a marvelous result. >=))>
