Macro Photo Competition 2016 No 6 : Entry Number 33

Very beautiful portrait of this dragonfly, the colors are really natural, the focus is where it takes. The sharpness is very good and the background is homogeneous. Good work.

Thank you very much to the judge for this mark of excellence! I love the personality you see in dragonfly faces, and I thought this was a good composition of one peering through some ferns. My name is Tom Semple and I'm an enthusiast macro photographer and entomologist from Queensland, Australia. This photo was taken in Girraween National Park, Qld, with my old Sony NEX-6, an even older Konica 135mm lens, and a Raynox macro adapter - my budget macro rig!
