I love the wings on this... it really is a great capture...
I have also been catching up on your other postings and was very 'moved' by the leaf on the water... it really is beautiful.

And I can see why. This photo is just wonderful. I really like the impressionist background.

Beautiful! I ahve only caught one with a camera. . . and yet, they say we have lots of them around here.

A very clear one! Since you mention cropping - I would have cropped it so that you had the straw in the lower left-hand corner and the fly according to the rule of threes (you are almost there). That would possibly mean a more 3 * 2 landscape, but that would suit the picture.

A bit according to the book and all in my humble opinion, of course. :-)

PS Thank you for the pleasant comments!

This is a beautiful photo. I also tend to do close cropping. I shall have to rethink that too.

I love this photo! So clear and everything else blurred out. I love it when my photos turn out like that. So far it's more by accident than design--I'm still learning. Your photos always inspire me.

It's a great shot. I'm glad you didn't crop this one. We would have missed that wonderful background.

Glorious; I love those hot colours in the BG against the blue of the dragon fly.

Willard said...

An excellent composition, Kerri. Super sharp!

Hilary said...
