Large Red Damselfly

Very nice! Not long emerged going by the sheen on the wings, and I like the equisetum perch. Good DoF. I take it this was from last year? These guys should be around in less than a month!

perfectly executed and a lovely composition. I can't wait for the first of these to emerge, it means the dragonfly season has officially begun :smile:

Cracking Macro of the highest quality. I too cannot wait for the damsels and dragons to get going.
