That's a heck of a start, Mick. Nice capture and welcome to the forum.

Mick - welcome to the forum! and what a clever idea for the assignment!

TT - Much better on the second shot. daddy's face can use a bit more contrast though.

Mick - Welcome to the forum! I like this shot (it 'pops') and the planning behind it. In terms of improvements, the right side looks too tight, it could use a bit more breathing room. The eyes are quite sharp, but they could be ever so slightly sharper. Hope that helps - Marko

good suggestion, Marko - will play with it again! Thanks!

[Mick O'Tighe]

thanks guys!
Excellent suggestions marko. Nothing I can do about the composition, but I've sharpened up the eyes a little bit, what do you think?

Here is the "beginnings" of a new crop of dragonflies...maybe red and yellow will make orange ones!

I have had to laugh hard about it, casil403. Because once as a teenager – before any biology lessons about Darwing etc. ; -) – I have had set two rabbits together: A black and a white one - hoping for wonderful white-black spotted offspring.

i think the biggest cause for my confusion is that they are not in the standard positioning... i wonder if there is a kama sutra for dragonflies???

First true interest in how to fish!
