This damselfly was trapped in a spider web near a pond. He (or she) was alive and attempting to escape desperately.
D90, 105mm, f/11, 1/200, ISO400, +0.3EV, full frame.

Very nice colours and details. I like the composition too.
Yesterday I found near my office a similar situation. I decided to free the damselfly, even if I am not convinced this is the correct behaviuor.

Or the title 'Death Trap' comes to mind.. Maybe Damsel in Distress?
Excellent details in the LP, nice job on the exposure as well Yun.
It's nature's way..

Well, talk about a captive subject. With a little help from the spider keeping the DF in place, you got good detail on the subject. The web tells the story, and the damselfly is well captured against the nice bg. My favorite part of this image, however, is the little fly at the tip of the DF's upper wing.

That's a beautiful damselfly plus the setting really tells the story.

Yun: Good find and a fine capture. The relative strength of these webs is amazing. Nicely done.>=))>
