Blue on White
Banded Demoiselle(m) on Daisy

My apologies for not posting much lately. It's a very busy time at the moment, working, giving workshops and also photographing a lot. I'm trying to be more creative and this is one of those tries.
I think it's not so bad, but you never know.
Hope you like it also.

C&C as always welcome. Thanks.

Works well, not easy to accomplish at the best of times.

Very nice use of shallow DoF :toast: :toast:

It’s very different to the usual Tom, a daisy and a damsel fly a strange combination but it somehow make a pleasing image, not sure about the OFF yellow in the background though, Dutch tulips I guess.

Tom I like this a lot. for me the OOF yellow makes the image as in my mind it works very well with the wings :wink:

I would not worry about lack of posts especially if you post crackers like this when you do :wink:

Certainly creative Tom and the image floats my boat as JR would say. :biggrin: Great use of DOF here and the off centre placement, whilst unusal, works very well.

Nick. :wavey: :jump: :toast:
