Great detail on the insects, nice behavior capture, some bright reeds in the BG but that is their habitat! Well done!

The colours over the entire image are fantastic, I really like the back-lighting as well.

The lighting in this really shows off their wonderful wing venation and enhances their great coloring.

Very nice, lovely backlighting.
Perhaps a round of NR on the background?

Very cleverly done. The lighting and tones in teh BG and the dragons, really show off the color of the wings especially. Well designed and executed. Lovely shot.

Love the detail, pose, and the vivid colors. The background patterns are attractive, though the grasses are bright and compete a bit.

Hi

I might be tempted to tone down the saturation a tad but that always a subjective remark with most people preferring a much more saturated look than myself. Otherwise the only real remark I would have would be “How cool is this” !!!!

A really awesome behaviour capture that has eye appeal as well !!!

All the best
Matthew

I like the way the colors of the b.g. leaves compliment those of the happy couple!
Good light,
Craig
