Hi Tim

A nice shot. The only nit for me is I would prefer the tail in focus for this type of image. Otherwise a very good shot of a species I have yet so see.

cheers

Splendid, a super damsel, I too would prefer a tad more DoF, but from the techs that does not appear to have been possible...

Hi Tim,

Another stunning macro image for your collection. :toast:

Don't think I've ever knowingly seen one of these,but seeing just how attractive and photogenic they are,I think I'll make a special effort to track one down,although perhaps not untill next year now :smile: .

Hi Tim

Super shot love the light and rich colours - I don't find the lack of a little DOF a problem!
