Southern Hawker Dragonfly

Wow liebe Rosa,das hast du aber ganz toll umgesetzt,ich seh,das du nur ein 55er Objektiv hattest,das sind traumhafte,schöne Aufnahmen und die Libellen sind perfekt scharf,ich denke mir,dass du auch gleich eine große Freude hattest und dass sie dir so schön Model gestanden ist :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you so much dear Günter. Yes I was lucky that the dragonfly stayed so long! I've not run so fast for a long time, to get my camera ;-))

Have a great new week and a good evening, Rosa.

Hi Rosa
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, and so well seen and caught! They don't usually stay still for long!
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
I thought it would be gone by the time I had got my camera!
I was very lucky :-))
Best wishes and a good new week,
Rosa.

Waouhhhh ma Rosa quelle magnifique macro et série************************j'adore !
gros bisous mon amie et bonne soirée

Aw thank you so much dear Angelique....I was very excited to get these pic's ;-))
Big kiss and a great new week my friend.

So delicate and sharp ~ Well done indeed Rosa

Thank you very much Nick.
Take care and have a good week.

Amazing images Rosa!! Well done!!! Lovely clear colours, super sharp detail and spot on focus. It could not have chosen a more colourful flower either. Beautiful, and the bokeh is also lovely.

A great start to the week. Hope the rest of it is just as good

Thank you very much Carol. I almost missed it, as it was low down on the flower. A good job I took a closer look. At last I have managed to get a dragonfly photo :-))

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Yes really well done Rosa. I have never been lucky enough, or fast enough, to capture one!!

Superbes photos . Bonne soirée. Nicole .

Thank you very much.
Good morning Nicole.

Belles et ravissantes captures superbement partagées. J'aime bien la deuxième capture bien enjolivée par cette magnifique libellule.
Bonne et agréable fin de soirée.

Thank you very much Malik. I wasn't sure which one to make the main picture, so I am pleased that you like the PiP.
Good morning.

Amazingly beautiful with stunning colours and details.

Thank you very much for your kind comment Jaap.
Good day.

A very impressive macro shot of the dragonfly, Rosa. The green of the insect stands out well from the pink flower. I hope you have a great new week. Cheers, Joe

I thought I would never get a decent shot of one Joe....it has taken years, haha!
Thank you for your kind comment. Cheers, Rosa.

Fabulous pair and colors!

Superbes macros !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Thank you very much Madeleine.
Happy Tuesday.
Regards.

A beautiful close-up and a nice encounter, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich. I was pleased with the encounter.
Happy Tuesday.

Super Image Rosa I have many photos of dragonfly's but not as good as this super sharp very nice job.
All the best TOZ

Thank you so much TOZ. I can't believe how many years it has taken me to get anything half decent of a dragonfly....I can tick that off the list now ;-))
All the best,
Rosa.

AMAZING MACRO

Thank you very much Pam.

There's nothing "half-decent" about these two shots Rosa............they'e both superb, and I'm really pleased for you!

You've captured them perfectly...........the colours and detail are gorgeous (particularly the wings) and you even have a wonderfully colourful place for them to pose for you.

Both images have lovely backgrounds too. Two outstanding macro shots..!! 10/10

As far as I can see by checking my field guide, you have the identification spot on, and I believe this one is a male.

Not. Jealous. At all..!!

I can't tell you how delighted I was to see this dragonfly keeping still in my garden Keith :-))
I am happy with your very generous comment, thank you.

It was lucky for me that they were on such a colourful flower. I couldn't see the wings on the back of my camera, so I was extra delighted to find that they did actually show!

I thought it was probably a male, but I didn't want to push my luck! :-)
Thanks again for your lovely comment.

Sehr schöne Nahaufnahme! Wünsche dir einen schönen Tag!

Thank you very much for your kind comment Karl.

Juste a temps pour immortaliser cette magnifique Libellule de belles couleurs agréable journée Rosalyn.

Thank you very much Patrick. Good evening.

Amazing moments wonderfully captured!
Superb details and compositions, Rosalyne!

Thank you for your kind comment Judite.

This pretty dragonfly did well to wait for you!!!!!!!!
WELL DONE***************************

A welcome visitor who stayed a while :-)
Thank you Nouchet.

Lovely colours and excellent detail Rosa
Magnificent macros !

Thank you for your kind comment Roger.

What a beauty! It deserved to be photographically captured and you captured it really well, Rosa!

Thank you very much Edna. I was excited to see it....I am easily pleased :-)

So am I, Rosa :-) And I think that's good as it makes life a lot more...pleasant :-))

Tus fotos de libélulas no son medio decentes, son totalmente decentes. ¡Enhorabuena, Rosa! Conseguiste dos estupendas fotografías de ese ser misterioso que me entusiasma cazarlo, lo he hecho muchas veces, pero últimamente no encuentro oportunidad. Además tu ejemplar es el que más me gusta de los que veo aquí. Me provocaron la rotura de una cámara.

A pesar de la rotura, no les muestro rencor, les adoro y estoy deseoso de volverlos a ver.

Thank you so much for your generous comment Jose Manuel. Oh dear, that is bad luck when something you want to photograph beaks the camera! Sometimes we are so keen to get the shot that we miss our footing....I have done that before :-)

That is good :-))

Your sprint was well worth the effort Rosalyn I've not seen a dragonfly this year, I hope you have a pleasant Wednesday and avoid the showers Good night

Yes I was very pleased Peter. Not sure it was quite a sprint ;-))
Have a good Wednesday. Lovely weather here so far.

Großartige Aufnahmen, Rosalyn!

Thank you very much Wilhelm.

Very obliging of the dragonfly to wait for you, Rosa. These really are beautifully taken images.

Thank you George. Yes it was quite unusual :-)

Mais quelle est belle dans ce panel coloré, j'adore !

Thank you very much dear Jocelyne.

Bravo for catching it and with such beautifully contrasting flower background! The diagonal composition in the main photo is brilliant.

Thank you so much Gudrun. I couldn't believe my eyes when it was still there after I had dashed indoors to get my camera! It gave me a few seconds to capture what I have been hoping to get for years ;-))

"Our" Nikon did its duty, but you were very good too!
Warm greetings
Fabio

I ran very quickly to get the camera Fabio!
I had no time to check the settings, but the
dragonfly stayed still for a few more seconds
for me :-))
Thank you for your kind comment.
Warm greetings,
Rosa
