Just got me a macro lens and finally got a chance to use it. Would love some C&C!

Nice DOF and Composition. I would maybe bring up the brightness or blacks a tad to bring out the details in dark part of the wing and body.

Lovely capture. Good focus and angle on the dragon. Minor nit-pic is the background which is a bit distracting but dragons always seem to perch in the wrong place

Lovely capture.

A large proportion of my shots are still not as good as that.

Yeah the background bothers me as well. If I shot lower than f/9 it would have looked nicer but chances are the dragonfly would have been out of focus. Really glad you like it though!

Thanks again everyone. Its really great to hear you guys like it :)

Any idea what this dragonfly would be called? I dont know the first thing about them.
