A fine look at the damsel, Jim. Catching the glisten on the wings is a fine extra. It looks like it's clinging for dear life on the grass head. The details in the grass head are also a good addition.

Jim, very nice details in the damselfly and all the grass are sharp. I really like the grass perch. Beautiful work!
