Inspired by the many great damsel/dragon shots posted here I thought I'd have a go. Wanted to try something a little different - think it works? C&C welcome.

Cheers,
Chris

Always good to try something different, don't you like the way they try and hide, nice shot.

The more I look at this the more I like it.

I think this works quite well, particularly with the simple green background and perch. Their habit of playing hide and seek behind perches always amuses and frustrates me in equal measure

Very nice and sharp where it needs to be. Great angle.

Its not an angle I have tried yet, but I think you are right and it does work.
