Good angle on the profile view to the dragonfly Bahadir, DOF is spotted on from the dragonfly head to the tail tip. Good details on the insect and the lighting is excellent for the softness. What I would do differently is to boost up a little more contrast on the dragonfly for some impact.
Cheers......Edwin

Hi Tacio, beautiful shot with perfect focus. Composition, colors and contrast are great. With your lens + TC 2x you can't do more with DOF. Sharpness is fine although a bit of noise on background. Thank you for sharing. Ciao Francesco

Fabulous...love the placement in frame and detail. OK...a might more dof would be interesting to compare...not necessarily any superior to this. What sends this to 3tu for me is the light on the leading edge (rt side) of fly and stem. Cool. Nicely done.

Well, I had decided it wasn't worth upgrading my old 100mm f/2.8 Macro, but your images just blows me away. Lighting and color are outstanding. Perfect focus. Was this taken using the IS? Have you any experience with the old version of the lens, and how does this compare?

the composition seems odd to me. It is not centered or follows the rule of 3rds. But the focus is sharp and colors pop!

I like the angle and dof is fine to me. Sharpness is good on one eye but not the other. good idea just needs a little work!

Hi Norman, a very beautiful shot with perfect focus, sharpness and good DOF. Composition, colors and contrast are great. With your lens you have a must. Just a little crop may be would emphasize more the butterfly. Thank you for sharing. Ciao Francesco

I like the tight crop for this butterfly Yasser, but a little more headroom and some space on the left side is preferred. Good sharpness, exposure and coloring on the butterfly wing but I think some more details can be rescued on the head part, particularly on the eye by PS shadow tool.
Cheers......Edwin

A nice catch Norman, but I think a tighter crop could help to bring in more impact by delivering more details on the subject whilst eliminating those brighter green and pink in the background that draw away my attention. A little too far on sharpening I think, evident from the icy pixelation on the butterfly wing texture.
Cheers......Edwin

Great subject, rendered impeccably. Maybe a little extra at the top could be cropped, but I see substantially nothing negative.

Good Job Martin. First I like your Idea as its a bit rare here. Second, you adjusted well photo frame. The wall strip is kept almost the same all over the image while ground is expanding from left to right. I just wish you could move a bit left or right to capture both images completely or take right image and the wall notes together. Good Luck. Mehrdad

Alper, its excellent landscape shot. Its clear and sharp. As HDRI, I expect brighter colors. So, for this I prefer resubmitting in B&W too. Contrast of your photo is quite enough to do that. Other aspects like frame adjustment and camera angle and the way land goes to the right side of frame are great. Good Luck. Mehrdad
