Blue in the face
Common Blue damselfly that is!

40D, Sigma 180mm, 1/125@f8, ISO640, tripod & cable release, probably MLU via live view (but can't remember for this particular shot), full frame. Selective blurring of end of twig.

Good damselfly photography weather in the South East today, apart from a slight breeze. Was determined to get this shot 'in the bag', so used a high iso and took lots when it appeared still to combat the breeze.

C&C welcome.
