Dinertime
Last week I spent some hours in our NP Naardermeer(NL). It was just around dinner time. Also for this Damselfly eating her dinner.

Thanks for looking.
C&C as always welcome.
Exif: 1/2500 s, f/5.6, ISO 250, 0.67 eV, 700 mm

Now there's a rare sight - don't see anywhere near as many feeding Damsels as Dragons; and that's one heck of a big prey item for her too.

Very nice shot Tom :toast: :toast:

Excellent image and what a find.

Nicely done, the plane of focus is just right and the background helps to isolate the the subject... bet she didn't need to eat or hunt for a little while after...

Hi All,

Thanks for all the kind replies. As I said it was dinnertime at that moment. I'll post another picture. May be not as nice and technically spoken correct but also "Dinnertime" for some other animal.

that's an excellent shot Tom (my favourite of the 3 on FB!). The light is very soft and the detail is excellent.
