Another Banded Demoiselle from me, this time a male.

Canon 40D with Sigma 150mm, f6.3, 1/200.

All C+C welcomed.

That is very nice indeed Matt with a super composition... I haven't been able to get close to one of these (they seem to be way down in numbers in this neck of the world) so I am jealous...

I have to join the envy brigade I'm afraid - beautiful shot. I've just been out for a walk in my lunch hour and saw several of these beauties.....sadly sitting on some vegetation about 10ft out in the middle of the river!

Not been able to get anywhere near the odd one or two I have seen either. They are very few and far between down south. So another recruit for the envy brigade!

Lovely shot with some very fine detail, and great comp too.
