Hi Paul,
it's a beautiful damselfly.
The colours are amazing. Very good details and composition.
I like the POV and DOF too.
Excellent work, my friend

What? NO crocodiles in that river Paul? Or was this fellow more important than you arms and legs, or your life?

He is wonderfully sharp and colurful, and bravo on being the 1st on TN. It is an excellent shot Paul, well done.

That's what I like about you :) You are able to do things that most people would call well, a bit weird, just to take your perfect shot.
And again the results were worth all the effort.
Photo is simply perfect and simply beautiful.
I like it very much!

Great sharpness for this first timer on TN. Nice pose but maybe a bit dark around the body. interesting colour combo on the legs. Well done.

A great capture, well done on being the first with this shot. Its a really interesting dameselfly, I really like the chosen composition. I just with the thorax and head were clearer, they look quite dark. My eye is also drawn to the dark bg at the top of the sreen.
Sounds like you had fun catching this one. SA eh? blimey, alright for some.
Thanks for posting.

Hi Paul,
A superb macro shot. The composition and framing are perfect. The exposure looks to be right on the money with the fill flash. The colors are well saturated and beautiful. Detail and DOF are perfect.
Outstanding work!

Nicely captured Paul,
Perfect lighting, the detail is sharp and clear. Congraulations on bringing us this beauty first, he does look quite stocky, how big is it?
Excellent POV, colours and DOF are spot on. Thanks for posting.
Don't forget..BBC1 @ 9pm tonight.

Hi Paul,
this is so interesting, I've never seen such colours on a damselfly. Looks like painted with turquoise colour and dressed with red socks ;-) Excellent shot of a pretty insect, thank you very much

Nice to see a post from you again Paul and what an unusual species you have captured here - first time I have ever seen one of these. Without your note I would say it was a darter of some sort. It is a real beauty and worth the effort. Outstanding colours and the quality is as always excellent.

Very good overall shot!!
