Rescued an Entangled Dragonfly

[mousedeers]

Amazed ! How the dragonfly's wing pierced through by the grass?. Never see this type entanglement before. After capturing a few photos I freed the dragonfly and he can fly actively. I think he is very happy , so am I.

D5000, SB900, tripod, ISO400, rear syn, vivid color, manual mode, F16, 200mm macro, speed various, at AP.
#1

#2 The grasshopper did not know he is almost going to kill by the lynx spider. And again after capturing a few photos I help him to escape. Am I doing a right thing?

#3 Racial harmony, they live peacefully together.

#4 Red damselfly. First time seeing it.

#5 On top of the arch.

Wah really :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: for the composition and the finds.
Hmm my opinion will be that u shld nt save the grasshopper, let nature flows. Maybe the spider is having gastric nw lol.

Err... there is a tool in lightroom that you can set your jpeg to vibrant, which is equivalent to
Vivid..correct me if I am wrong. Check it out.

Hi, Mousedeers.Fantastic shots you have here.Since getting your new tool and Mistress,you have been horning your skill to even greater level.:bsmilie:
I love the green b/gs that you have lately been sharing with us.
My only comment is the slightly darker Lynx spider in #2.Maybe you can consider getting another flash to fill in the underside of the leaf.

Ridiculously good quality! :thumbsup:

Not sure if it'll help but I'd try to trigger an external flash at the bottom to brighten the underneath of the leaves and its subject.

Post processing is important.
