I like this, the colours are great. My only criticism would be that the Demoiselle would look better if it was shot directly side-on, rather than slightly head on/above.

Dan.

The warm light is very nice indeed,particularly the way it brings out the insects metallic colours.Like the partially lit background too.
Was it possible to get lower without disturbing the insect or it's perch,as an eye level viewpoint would have possibly worked very well here?
