Oh my goodness.

After seeing a lousy readers photo of what was titled a Dragonfly and it was actually a Emerald Damselfly, I thought I'd send in a couple of my shots. It was a bit of a surprised to see my photos in The Hereford Times today and they will also be in my local paper (The Ledbury Reporter) on Friday.

Yayyy  well done John   

 

A couple of excellent shots, not surprised they used them especially with the local connection.

Well done JP your shots are way above the average snapper Its nice to see some recognition

But you were a little harsh on the reader the poor person, or anyone on the paper for that matter, as they obviously dont know about darters  hawkers etc and joe public does call everything with a long body and wings a dragonfly

I am sure he isnt lousy in real life is he?

Well done John

Fuzzy... lousy was only a term I used on here, I didn't mention anything to the newspaper.

Well done - the detail in the  shot of the skipper butterfly is great

 

I can never get macro shots to work!

I'm gonna take a leaf out of your book ad start sending pictures off to local rags

Did you mean the readers lousy photo, as in a poor image

Or the lousy readers photo, as in the reader was infested with lice

 

"Just pulling of the leg" as Poirt would say
