Another expression of triumph, another expression of fruitful effort. It is quite funny how we make sounds when we do something with utter concentration or with all our force. They can be termed as expressions too. Here I find this beautiful dragonfly take up this position and coined an expression for it too. We all know why they take up this position but I found it in a shaded place and in relatively cooler temperatures. So it was quite interesting to see this posture and I enjoyed it very much. Maybe they do not always present this posture while exposed to sunlight or maybe this is an aspect we need to study and understand more about.

Anyway, I utterly enjoyed this pose and hope you all would too. In any case, the drama of nature is such an unending show. Raise up and give a big hand to this marvellous show from this beautiful dragonfly.

Not only a dramatic pose, but as sharp as a pin! It is perhaps one of your better images of these...but if pressed, it would be hard to judge them against each other, so it is this one for today which gets the blue ribbon.

Hi Sumon,

How do you spot these wonderful sights? This dragonfly is a real gymnast. You caught him frozen in this position perfectly. Absolutely amazing colors and razor-sharp details. Beautiful picture.

Hi Sumon,
Fantastic capture of this dragon fly in such an unusual pose. Perfect detail and quite beautiful and surprising colours. Well done.

Bonjour Sumon,

Hello Sumon !
Anither wonderful shot from you, I don't know where to begin ! :-) First, the details, the composition and the POV are excellent. Then, I must saythe colors are splendid - golden color for the Dragonfly, tender green for the grass, and a lovely light brown for the BG, which is also nicely blurred the make the insect stand out. To finish, the pose of the Dragonfly is most impressive, and quite unusual I think. Very well done !
Valerie.

Hi Sumon!
Funny pose of this dragonfly was presented in very nice way! I like details, POV and sharpness. The BG looks a little not natural because of the colour, but still very nice and beauty.
TFS and est regards,

Missed your images! And this not being an exception! Excellent detail and capture. While many suggest this pose is to cool down - the fact that you shot in relatively low temps in the shade pits that theory into question, suggesting that it is indeed some form of communication. Well done!

Hello Sumon,
This guy is feeling hot: at least he doesn't want to get hotter, which is why he is adopting this pose so that minimal body surface is exposed to the sun. Butterflies close their wings and dragonflies raise their bodies. In human terms this looks quite gymnastic and elegant.
Excellent sharp capture taken from a fine POV in a superb composition against a neutral BG.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Ivan

Hi Sumon,
This is a superb shot! Spot on exposure, and the clarity and detail look great. What a great pose. This is a special shot!

Hallo Mana
Being a new member to Trek Nature I am still browsing if time permits. I think by the end of the week my eyes will be squint and my heart will need attention, because of all the excitement I am experiencing at the moment. It is quite a difficult task to decide which photos deserves smiley’s. There are just so many talented photographers on the site and they all have such spectacular portfolios. I found your portfolio filled with various subjects but decided to critique this beautiful dragonfly with the title “UMMMMPH!” The day that I will be able to take a picture of this caliber I’ll also stand on my hands and even do a few summer saults as well. The detail of the dragonfly is excellent and just like you I also enjoyed the pose. The very fine hairs on the greenery caught my attention, which proofs how well the focus on this photo is. Very well done. Impressive photo with lots of character. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Hello Sumon,

Whatever is this guy doing right here just amazes me. Like a gymnast twisting on the straight bar. Awesome sharpness and details. You have always been an excellent macro worker. Please allow me to add this to my personal theme and my favorite shot.

Have a wonderful weekend,
