Hi,

Nice pictures. Second time only so good!

Think most pictures you achieve very nice background. Also, one thing i notice is that we tend to put the target in the center. I have shot only 1 time and I also doing this. Think its for the ease of focusing. But I dont know whether macro should follow rule of thirds as well.

I love #1, very nice and sharp but only have the bright spots below the insect. Otherwise, PERFECT! hehe. #3 is cool too. I love the stem that the dragonfly is resting on. The composition is nice.

Regards,
tltan

All shots suffer from harsh flash light. Try to compensate your flash power, up your ISO or lower your shutter speed with some supports.

Btw, you guys can find these critters everywhere. ;-)

I like the lightings for #4, seems to make the dragonfly glow.
