Banded Demoiselle
I've only recently got around around to processing this one from last summer. It's a male Banded Demoiselle damselfly.

Canon 7D with Sigma 150mm lens, f11, 1/50, ISO 400, tripod.

All C+C appreciated.

Terrific Matt. The wing spots really stand out against that silk smooth background. Composition is spot on and even the flowers look decent. :toast: :toast:

What a stunning image Matt! We only have Beautiful Dems here and I have to travel 50 miles to see them and I have yet to get a semi decent image of them but this just makes me soooo jealous :mad: :razz: Was it an early morning shot?
