It's photographs like these that paralyze me from feeling uneasy around bugs.
Great photo, man. Think I can see your arm reflected there - nice cameo!

Tolle Qualität wie immer.
Mich beeindruckt, wie haarig das Tier ist. Bin ich in der Extremform nicht gewohnt. Oder liegt's vielleicht daran, dass die Haare noch nicht abgestoßen sind?

meines wissens sind alle libellen behaart. eine "nackte" libelle habe ich bisher noch nicht sehen können

Behaart natürlich schon, aber die Haare wirken hier auch sehr lang, und unten am Abdomen sehen sie sonst oft schon sehr glatt aus, z.B. [link] , aber deine ist auch dort ganz wuschelig.

I can't wait to buy a macro lens for my Rebel XTi. I LOVE my camera. Best pictures I've ever taken! I hope I'll be as lucky as you in catching such amazing creatures. Kudos to you! You're focus is always perfect as well as the value and contrast. Blows me away every time. I think you may have answered this question before, but I'm going ask anyways. (sorry) Do you do much with the photo (ie, Photoshop) to brighten it up or anything? Or just for cropping? I'm getting into photography myself and I'm trying to learn as much as possible.

the dragonfly lives, before it becomes a flying insect, as a larva in the water. i took my macros in early in the morning when all the insects are in a torpor

Sometimes when I look at some of your work and they have the water drops on them..I wonder..'doesn't that annoy them, especially when droplets are on their eyes?'. Sorry it's a random comment but I couldn't help myself.lol. Great work as always.

the water is the dew after a cold night. i can realize that the water drops on their eyes irritate their visual impression. moreover when i took such macro, where the whole eye was covered with drops, i watched that they brush the drops with their legs away, after some time

Ist das ein crop oder volle Sensorgröße? Würd mich mal interessieren, hab schließlich die gleiche Kombination von Kamera und Objektiv, aber den Eindruck nur mit einem umgedrehten 50iger davor so Nah ranzukommen (wenn's denn kein crop ist).
Auf jeden Fall bin ich von fast jedem Bild von Dir immer wieder begeistert!

kein crop sondern original größe bei 1:1. allerdings muss iman auch sagen dass die libelle sehr groß ist, im vergleich zu anderen arten
