Dragonfly with appetite on a little fly

For several days now we have colder weather and there are not so many insects around. Still some butterflies, very few and some dragonflies too.
I saw this one posed on a round stone looking quite a while to the little fly in front of it. I think it had lost it and wanted to take it again.
I'm not a dragonfly specialist, for me this specimen looks like a female of Sympetrum vulgatum, but not sure really , because of the silvery color.

Thanks a lot to Ivan (Argus) for its ID:
The dragonfly is a female of Sympetrum striolatum and the little fly is rather a midge.

Bonjour Anne,
A fine sharp capture of a an old female Sympeterum striolatum looking at what looks like a small male midge (the fluffy antennae suggest a male). The POV is excellent and the composition on the stone with the midge is perfect against the neutral BG.
Merci et bonne soirée.
A bientôt
Ivan

Excellent photo, very good sharpness and details!

A magnificent capture of the moment. I can feel the tension building in the image...this is what photography can do when there is just a slight editorial story to it...very educational at best!

Ciao Anne,

Grazie e complimenti
Buona notte
Con amicizia

Hi Anne. It looks like its playing with the fly . You were able to get such a fine close up with sharp focusing and detil. You have natural colours. The large brown eyes stand out well .TFS.

Hi Anne,
Good shot of this dragonfly, with excellent POV.

Bonjour Anne,

A superb macro capture of this dark colored beauty. The eyes and textures in the wings of the dragonfly, are well detailed and beautifully shown in your capture.

I like the great contrast between the colors of the dragonfly and the rocky structure underneath. The sharpness is great and the POV is superb. The DOF is very well managed.

Great composition!

best regards,
Paras

Hi Anne

Hallo Anne

Dein Bild ist überraschend, denn es macht den Anschein, als ob sich die Libelle an die Fliege anschleichen wollte und sich dabei klein macht. Auch die Stellung der Flügel ist besonders, und die Wirkung des ganzen Bildes ist angenehm.

As liebs Grüessli

Hello Anne,
wow...this is an excellent capture of a dragonfly. seldom seen in this pose attaching its body to the rock. The sharpness is indeed very clear. The details is splendid. The line of depth could be noticed along the body to the ant.
Very skillful composition.

regards,
Foozi
