Great DOF. Would like to see more of his? wings Posted: 07/11/2021 04:44:11
Great shot. I think you can crop the bottom - just to where the green starts. Posted: 07/11/2021 17:34:19
Nice one . did you take full body of dragonfly ? Posted: 07/12/2021 11:55:08
Great capture, as others have noted already. The detail in the dragonfly's head is fantastic.
Of course, the lesson learned here is that have such a wide-open aperture results in a very shallow DOF, especially when using a zoom lens. The solution is to choose a smaller aperture and raise your ISO slightly.
I think the solid color at the top and bottom, which is clearly not part of the original image, should go as it ends up being somewhat of a distraction.
I tool this image into Topaz Sharpen AI to try and bring a little more of the image into focus. Thoughts? Posted: 07/15/2021 16:34:40

What a fabulous capture! The detail is incredible. I'd eliminate the top and bottom solid color, as others have suggested. Posted: 07/16/2021 21:10:14
Incredible detail. Agree with comments on cropping a bit off the top and bottom to focus on the creature.
