Comment from Celyn1
This is a well caught picture but as you said the dragonflies are a bit out of focus in places - unfortunately one of their heads in out of focus which spoils it rather. Nevertheless I am sure that I could not have done any better unless they had hung around for quite some time. The lighting seems good though so good luck with it

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of the visitor and the visited. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
It is a nice subject. The background is solid, nice. The green stem is nice enough, but you are correct, the dragonflies aren't clear in places, the focus could be better. Perhaps you could do it over.

Welcome. It still has some nice features.

Comment from Zilyram
Love the capture of the dragonflies mating, yes unfortunately they don't hang around long and your focus is very soft. The empty background works well. You wonder how they can balance on such a fine reed. Color is good.

Comment from Monica Morrell
Well it was nice of you to try not to interrupt the mating experience. LOL I think your focus is great, Are they really a turquoise color? I heard dragon flies send you luck. Best of luck in the contest!

I love this image of two dragonflies enjoying each other. They look like circus performers. The blue is nicely captured here and well highlighted. There are so many unique colors in this species. It's crazy.

I agree the focus isn't the best but the capture is nice which is why I still gave 5 stars. For those blurry shots, I use Topaz Sharpen or Topaz Gigapixel. You'd be surprised but the programs can do. Love the blue against the dull background. Again nice capture!

Beautiful shot of these two lovers, making the best of the situation. The color in the Dragon fly is a beautiful light blue iridescent and it works great on a gray background. Very enjoyable. the best of luck in the contest. Ray

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Acrobatics appear to have turned into fun or the mating process has got complex. Anyway, let's leave it to the horny pair to decide. This is a good looking shot. Good timing. The light, colours and composition have come out well. Good luck!
