Dragonfly

[SparePocket]

I have just taken up photography this summer, after cataract surgery. I have no idea yet what I'm doing as a complete novice so any advice at all would be great!

I love dragonflies and feel so lucky whenever I am able to capture photos of them. This one I thought was especially beautiful because of the way the light played with it's wings.

Perhaps you can just go ahead and remove the post. I apologize for not knowing what I've done.

You'll just need to let us know more about your photo is all. What you like, what you dont like, what you want help with. We like for you to ask something specific for help. Perhaps composition? Lighting? settings? anything at all. If you dont know, thats ok to, just let us know so we know how to help you best!

I agree with you! I like the way the light is hitting his wings also. This is a nice picture. He is a pretty big bug may have tried setting the camera to about f5.6 or so to try to get the other in wing a clear focus also. Great start though.

You certainly captured the scene in a captivating way. The background faded perfectly just enough to keep the grasshopper in focus.
