Great close-up compo, even more when we see it was taken with a Sanyo of 40€ !!! A well chosen relation between shutter speed (fast for freezing mouvement) and aperture (open to gradually blur any distracting background) allowed a sharp pic of an interesting dragonfly! What could we expect more? From a pro, and a still-life object, maybe a slightly downward-right place for the insect to emphasize its tendency to fly right way to the left. But the dragonfly doesn't wait for photographers or biologists. For an amateur of both situations, and by woophy standards, no less than 5! Great work, Jan!!! Go on amazing yourself with pics with any camera you catch, as you say in your profile!
