Mark,
A brilliant stop action picture of the Dragonfly in flight over a lake or river on which the blue sky is reflected. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Great entry for the contest. I like the way the dragon fly stands out against the blue background. The foreground grasses add excellent contrast. Lovely composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Mark, looking at this I see that dragon flying over the stream of blue satin. Your DOF has worked just fine. Great stop action. A fine example for the contest, the best of luck. Ray

Initial impact is a beautiful blue background, with light and shadowy hues adding a realistic feel. It's a pity the dragonfly was not a bit bigger. Good luck in the contest.

Great timing capturing that flying dragonfly against your bluish background, Mark. I like the inclusion of those green grass blades on the left side. Wishing you well in this contest. A peaceful scene.

Because the overall caste is blue then this qualifys for the contest even though the main subject is the dragonfly,this must have been difficult to get but the dragonfly is sharp [pity its not bigger] but these are not an easy subject to get[i know as i have tried] also like the single reed as it gives contrast in this,good one...Brian

Hey Mark, this is a cool shot. Perfect technique - the background is in complete and even bokeh. Looks like a satin sheet.

There are only two subjects in the foreground, and both are well seen in high resolution.

In the hands of a skilled shooter these three elements have been enjoyably combined. I find this post to be easy to meditate to, it is calming.

This kind of action take I have always found to be a challenge. I also found an extreme sense of satisfaction when I got it right.

I see a fine entry that demonstrates a keen technical mind and a sharp artistic eye.

Good luck in the contest, this entry is strong... Bob

The way you have captured the fleeting moment with the camera is truly inspiring. It's like freezing time in a moment of beauty. A fine entry for the contest. Good luck!

So difficult to get Dragonflies in flight but you have achieved a good image of the dragonfly heading toward the feeds. The light and shadow lighting are handled well and your composition is good.
