Damselfly
Took this last Saturday morning. I was hoping to get one absolutely covered in dew but this guy was the best I found there.

Boy, I'm no expert in this area but this looks awfully nice to me Bruce. Fine details and some nice color too. That one blade of green behind the damselfly was unfortunate but a fine capture in my book. Well done!

Very nice shot, sharp and detailed. I would clone or crop out the white circles at the top. You might be able to deal with the one green leaf by carefully selecting first one half of the leaf and then the other, and desaturating and brightening or darkening the selection as needed. Cloning it out would be a slow and tedious process.

Hey Bruce...I like it. It would be nice without all the things mentioned above - but - we live in an imperfect world and must take things as they happen. It is a great capture and one to be proud of.... IMHO>>>
