Neutral Very nice and good EV, wings are OOF though. ■ MMXX ^talk 12:18, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article only says India (the one sentence we have on the topic). 75.41.110.200 (talk) 15:24, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- We're not rating the articles here, IMO the image have good EV for this species. ■ MMXX ^talk 16:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - We need to be certain that the species ID is correct which the article does not help with. 75.41.110.200 (talk) 17:13, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yeah, the article isn't very good - it is found in thailand. I'll see if I can't find a reference or something to write some text later. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:04, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak support I'd like to support this but that wing OOF is very bad. Pine _{(was GreenPine)} ^talk 08:36, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Are the colours reasonably natural? Have you done an enormous amount of post production on this? It looks great, but psychedelic. Maybe that's just the nature of this dragon fly.TehGrauniad (talk) 10:08, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Basically nothing, it was pretty much bright red. JJ Harrison (talk) 11:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Weak support it captures the body, head, and much of the wings of the dragon fly beautifully. It took me a while to figure out that all dragon flies have two pairs of wings! I agree with earlier comments about shallow depth of field. TehGrauniad (talk) 11:45, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
