A more conventional pose this time. It is the most beautiful damsel in my book.

150mm macro
f/6.3
1/8sec

Hi Des, nice clear background and perch also like the wing action, I'd perhaps remove a bit off the left hand side.

a good shot Des, the background and perch show off the damselfly very nicely.

Very nice indeed, can't fault it. Particularly attractive creature on a very nice perch.

I like this one. Where we all strive for all round shapness it does not always convey the true "feel" of the subject. I think the blurredy wings make this. Don't say it was intentional please !!! :biggrin: :biggrin:

I find these metallic colours so hard to do justice to. You have a fine shot here with a really nice perch and bg. Top job all round.

A very pretty picture indeed. Looks a little soft (the wings don't bother me). Can't comment on the original but a touch more USM would crisp this up nicely. Amazing creature and I agree with them being the most beautiful. The perch is lovely with that little splash of colour. Agree on the slight LH crop to centralise the composition. :toast:
