Photo-a-Day (Wednesday, 20th August, 2014)
Common Hawker
Photo: Dave (Oy) (Nikon D800 with Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro)
Now that is what I call special!!
One of the best on P.A.D. Thanks Dave (Oy) PS. Look at the tiny hairs on the stems...
Its just a close up of a insect, nothing Wiganish about it.
And if I wanted to be critical about it I would say its actually a poor photo because what spoils it for me is the dead brown leaves that the insect is sat on.
Better than the eye can see.
lovely pic as usual dave
nice wigan photo
and as for you big Harold, you haven't a clue
you wouldn't know a good photo if it jumped up an hit you in the face
keep them coming Mr Oy.
amazing!! maybe next time you could ask it to land on a pretty plant to please Mick
Very nice, Oy. As always
I think Mick has been bitten by the green eyed monster.
Excellent photo
That is a spectacular photo, well done!
Thanks folks. Not the easiest of critters to get close to!
Brilliant shot.
It looks too colourful, has it been retouched. In might not be a living insect. Yet another camera trick.
But the picys good which ever way.
Beautiful photo Dave...lovely texture in the leaves and very good depth of field....cheers!!!
Dave, beautiful photo.
Yeah Alan it's a plastic one I bought at IKEA hahahaha!
This is a real live dragonfly that looks exactly as it did to the naked eye from about 1m away.
Good colour and detail. Perfect depth of field. Nice one Oy.
Simply beautiful!.....and beautifully simple!
you certainly have a way of winding people up mick , some of the photos you send in are rubbish , if i was you i would change my camera
Dave, may I copy your excelent photo of my favorite insect? I want to show it to my friends in the USA.
I'm very wary of copyright and would not want to step on toes.
A fine male specimen well photographed.
