Pink Dragonfly

Believe it or not, this is the first time I've seen a pink dragonfly. Blue ones, black ones, red ones, yes, but not pink dragonflies.

Woww, maybe pink fireflies really exist too?

Maybe it's an old red colour dragonfly... colour fade due to old age

Anyway, well taken shot

Pity the brown part of the stem is a distraction.

Nicely taken!

For pic 2, you got the whole body sharp and in focus.

Top right corner, maybe can clone off, tend to distract a wee bit.

For #1, the tail tip is just a slight OOF..... But that happens to us quite often....

For #3, the background is slightly distracting.

Hope you don't mind my comments, as these were pointers I recevied from my shots too!

and thats when I also started to see these same things very often in my own pics....

Thanks Melvyn and Chuanye for your comments and really appreciate your advice as I'm still new to photography and have much to learn from all you masters.

1st 2 shots are nice with clean background.

I also got a shot of pink dragonfly which was taken 3 years ago.
