Yep, it's a beauty, Yun.  You've got fine colors and details in the damsel and the glow of it's perch is a fine addition.

Fine DF image, Yun. I like the streaky bg, and the detail and color in the DF are excellent. devil

Hi Yun,

I like these frame filling shots of damselflies.  Lighting is very nice and the entire damselfly is in the plane of focusdevil..............Jim

Graphically stunning, with a beautiful damselfly, the bright striped perch, and a background that could not be better to go with this.  On top of that, you have wall-to-wall sharp focus on the subject and perch!  Doesn't get better than that.

Yun ..what a wonderful image of this beautiful demsel. That glow in the blade of grass ..and the fine gold lines on its wings ..make this a fine image.
