I liked the way the greens compliment each other. Hope you like it too.

Very nice Thomas, I really like this shot - because of the green tones like you say. The Monochromatic look

Here is one of mine...


and another


The monochromatic images seem calming and soothing to my eye. The red of the ant is in stark contrast to the green but I kind of like it too. And the side lighting is what really makes these attractive to the eye, I think.

Wonderful lighting, colour and composition Thomas
Pathfinder- your shots are excellent too

Hi Thomas,
This one made me laugh. At first, I paid attention to the colors and shading. I also noticed the highlights of his left wing against the dark backgound which made it stand out. Most excellent. Then upon closer examination, I saw the keylights (?) in his eyes and it cracked me up. Now when I look at this shot, the dragon has a comedic face. I love it.

Thanks for sharing,
Chris

Hi Path,
Two excellent shots. The green on green is cool, but the green in the bug is very cool and well captured. I'm a fan of contrasty images so it's only natural that I like the ant one too. Don't know which I like better though so I'll just have to take both:D.

Thanks for sharing,
Chris

Pathfinder - your pics are equally nice - i must say i am little partial to the head on view presented by Thomas because it brings out the eyes so well!

Thanks Gaurav and welcome to Dgrin.

I usually like what you do Thomas, and this dragonfly is no exception. The green as ruling color works very well for me.
I find it a beautiful photograph of an animal that in real life I would not see in this way. Great job

Thanks for the nice comments Cat.

I'll just add a shot here rather than start a new thread. Working on getting more of a natural light effect.
