Hallo Sonja, Nice composition and interesting colorist. I like it. Regards Chris

Hi, Pleasantly to look at a good photograph. This is a female Ruddy Darter (Sympetrum sanguineum). Ovipositor is typical for her. There is a lack of the yellow stripes on the legs. But that does not detract from the image. Regards Chris

Hi Guido, An important difference between the two dragonflies is to build the front wing. Here are the answers: http://sdrv.ms/12xrPCh There's your image and comparing O. bruneum and O. coerulescens. It is absolutely O. bruneum. Greetings wishing you a nice day

Hi Guido, This is not Orthetrum coerulescens but Orthetrum brunneum. All blue is male Orthetrum brunneum. Good for you! Regards Chris

Hi Siegmund Hello my friend. I have not had a chance to watch your very good pictures. It's great. Regards Chris

Hi Jörg, Beautiful picture, thoughtful and refined. Regards Chris

Hi Heinz Beautiful image. Regards Chris

Hi Willi, A very good picture. Great captured in movement. I really like the complete lack of focus. This is a very good example of how lack of focus is so needed in photography. It adds artistic expression of photos. Regards Chris

Hi Günter, This picture is very interesting. Elements of modern technology combined with nature, well put together and I like that. Not everyone can see it. Regards Chris

Hi Barbara, I like the picture. Wonderful colors attract the eye. Regards Chris

Hi Ralph, Very nicely composed image, and to do so in the appropriate colors. Regards Chris

Hi Frank, Thank you for a valuable consideration. Leaving more space, the details are less visible and clear, and it's not that the documentation of dragonflies. This is a photographic document dragonflies, their behavior and their structure. In this image are important to me details of the design torso and secondary reproductive apparatus. That's why my photos are not the more artistic, but rather documentaries. I greet and wish you a nice day

Hi Angelika, Nice and neat photo. This dragonfly is male Lestes virens. Regards Chris

Hi Christian, Beautiful light used underlines the great charm of the cat. Regards Chris

Hi Johann, Very nice photo. You chose the right exposure to show the beauty of flowing water. I have the impression that the vegetation growing on the rocks shed a tears, thus creates a beautiful atmosphere in the reception of the image. Regards Chris

Hi Richard, I really like the depth of field used. Highlights the main actor of the scene. Very nice and interesting picture. Regards Chris

Hi Horst, Very interesting color and composition. This picture is very nice. I like it. Regards Chris

Hi Thomas I do not think that the whole dragonfly had to be sharp. Partial blur on the wings and abdomen are the intended effects. In photography, as everything is sharp does not have to be nice - the basic principle of photography. Regards Chris

Hi Astrid, I like the depth of field, added to the charm. Very subtle and delicate is your image. Best Regards Chris

Hi Ute, Beautiful composition, very interesting juxtaposed colors. I like this cute picture in a nice light. Regards Chris
