Hi,

Took this shot of a male Banded Demoiselle a couple of evenings ago.
After taking some full body shots I noticed this small petal stuck in the damselflies hair.


All comments always welcome and appreciated.

Did you use your sharpening method on this Demoiselle :wink: ...cause it looks very sharp!
Cool shot and i like the hair extension!

Thanks Rene.

I did use the 100,0.2,0 sharpening method although the sharpness is more thanks to the Macro lens,what a cracker the Tamron is,one of my favourite lenses. :smile:

Superb image. Detail and colouration are outstanding. I can't decide whether I like the hair accessory or not but it does add something to the image
