 * Comment Is it blue or green? The white balance is totally different in each image. Pretty good otherwise though. I can't support either until I know which is accurate. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:47, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO the bottom one has the truer WB. I tried adjusting the WB for the original (uploaded edit over existing file name). Is it better? --Muhammad (talk) 19:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Now the top one looks pretty good to me and the bottom seems to have a very blue/green tinge. You say the bottom is better though. Was the tail orange or blueish orange? Noodle snacks (talk) 06:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * How does the bottom one look now ;)--Muhammad (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The body of one is green, the body of the other is blue. Is one a female perhaps? Noodle snacks (talk) 08:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Both are males. The body should be orange with some parts green, but I can't seem to get it right. Would you like to give it a go, or should I chuck the bottom one out? --Muhammad (talk) 09:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. If you shoot raw, then I'd adjust the WB for each of these images exactly the same during processing. If you don't, then custom white balance and a grey card is probably sensible for accuracies sake.
 * Support either Noodle snacks (talk) 10:07, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Support top: In the bottom picture, the V of the plants in the background draw your attention (and your attention shouldn't be on the plants in the background). In the top picture, the plant/sky creates what's almost a neutral gradient patter -- almost invisible and lets the Ceriagrion Glabrum draw your attention. Banaticus (talk) 05:05, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support top per Banaticus.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 18:22, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
