This is a great image, I love the macroscape of the image. I would personally add an offshoe fill flash on the dragonfly.

Wow! , amazing Ashwin.
Truly serene. The only distracting thing is that brown twig (is it a twig) between the tail and the wings.
I would love to know what kind of equipment you used. Is it a wide angle lens? Extension tubes? filters?

This is absolute beauty Aswini. Agree with VMR, a little fill up would have been nice but I like this version too

just perfect title for the situation, ashwini. somehow, i find the backdrop too distracting to have a zen feeling in the image. love the compo & light here.

regards.

Thanks friends!
@ Prithvi - I always mention the equipments that I have used as the bottom most line of my description. You can find it there. Its 300mm f/4 + 1.4x TC on D300.
Yes that brown twig is distracting to me too. But I was helpless.

@ VMR and Nilajan - That's a great idea. But the situation was not helpful to execute it as this guy was in the middle of the water and this is a full frame image at
420mm, taken from the bridge!

@ Nevil - I agree with you on the zen feel to the image. The bg is a slightly over distracting to feel that. Thanks for your view.

Love this macro scape Ashwin ! Dragonfly stands out nicely against the beautiful water fall in bg. Traces of leaves on top right adds to the frame. You may try sharpening the dragonfly just a bit. Thanks for sharing
