Great shot! Love the water droplets on the damselfly's wings!

I like the backlit lighting in this photo, Todd; the wings are highlighted beautifully. Lovely colors and good details and DOF choice. You caught a fantastic pose of this guy which makes an interesting comp. Great capture!

I like the color of the flower against the background, it really pops and moves my eye to the damsel. Nice image.

Great image Todd. The colors and subjects (flower and fly) compliment each other well.

Those rich colors are great! I love the beautifully simple composition, and the upright position of the damselfly. Beautiful!
