Not much to critique. I think its quite good. I like the sharpness. Focus in the insect seems to be spot on. Maybe the WB is a bit to warm.

I'd also say just crop off the left and you're good to go; turn it into a 4:3

This was a happy surprise image I captured a couple of months back and while I like it, it does seem like there are 2 competing subjects and am looking for other's thoughts on that and on the image in general. I had intended to just capture the flower but the damselfly landed a fraction of a second before I pressed the shutter button and had already committed to the pressing.

Very nice sharp dragonfly especially with 300mm lens
made

Very warm and inviting image to look at. I probably would have cloned out the small black speck on the flower.

Perfect

It's 300mm shot another a different mood

**MotoRider** · 10-28-2019, 01:31 AM

impressive shot. Unplanned as it is, I think it's perfect

Nice lighting and focus on the damsel fly. The yellow flower really pops here.

I think it's a very nice picture! A happy coincidence or a happy accident as Bob Ross would say.

I like this shot, probable or not. Lots of colour and the exquisite patterns of the damselfly.

I'm no expert like some people here, but I always think those moments are what make nature photography fun.
