Mr Rodgers you definately have this macro thing licked...

Possibly the best natural history macro image I have seen in a long while.

a great shot Guy. It can be a challenge getting both the damselfly and the exuvia into a pleasing composition with all parts in focus and you've managed it very nicely here.

Very nice image, I like the juxtaposition of imago and exuvium.I also like the translucent quality of the reeds. Well captured.
