It'll be a few days before this little fellow starts to look like a Red Eyed Damselfly. But I thought I would post it as I just love the colours in the immature wings.

a very nice image Guy, I bet the colours and detail look great in the high res version. Just out of interest was this taken recently? It seems quite late for this species to be still emerging.

Hello Matt.
Thanks for the comment.
Sorry I should have said it was taken at the end of June.

Yet another stunner.
Love the iridescent sheen on the wings.

I really like this one Guy. As you say the colours in the wings are superb, but I also like the fact that the bg gives a strong suggestion of more grass without in any way intruding on the fg. Another great shot. Eric

Yep, the wings are amazing... and the BG... and the simple composition with the curling leaf!
