Four spotted Chaser - Libellula quadrimaculata Bertl - looks most likely a female though without a side view it's near impossible to tell for certain.

Nice DoF - blacks are looking a bit blue on my monitor would be my only nit.

Good shot

If it's good enough for AA then it must be good enough for me. I do agree about the colours, it looks very blue on here. In fact it looks a bit oversaturated in general Bertl and not just the black.

I agree with previous comments about the blacks, and agree with Andy about the identification. Otherwise a good, sharp shot.

A good clear shot, and I go along with the consensus on the colours.

Also agree re identification and blacks looking blue. Still a nice close-up image Bertl. I haven't seen nearly so many about this year as the last couple of years.

Also agree with previous comments, coming out a little blue on my screen too. Otherwise a lovely shot with a clear background and really sharp.
