Very tiny damselfly that I found in our garden and after much time spent, managed to captured this beauty. Its difficult to spot and follow this tiny blue gem, its very swift in its flight and difficult to follow its movements. Overcast weather and wind made my life miserable while trying to capture this one, back breaking work really but its worth working to get one good frame of this beautiful species.
I like blue color and this one just my favorite.

Hello Nagaraj,

an very nice close up from this Damselfly with good pov, sharpness and bg.
fine natural colours.

Gert

The stark contrast of blue and green and four dominant lines are making your picture special. Great sharpness and a wonderful bokeh to support that. TFS Nagraj

Hello Nagraj,
A superb capture of what I assume is the male of this species of damselfly. The lateral POV is excellent and taken with fine sharpness against a good neutral BG against a pleasing natural neutral BG. Well composed too.
Thanks and all the best,
Ivan

Namastay Nagaraj ji,

A very beautiful macro capture of the adorable common blue damselfly!
Wonderful sharpness and a nice POV along with great use of the well managed DOF, make this shot a very eye-catching one. The blurred BG is simply perfect.
Beautiful colors adore the picture and great contrast exists between the blue colored damselfly and the greenish blurred BG.
Great work!

best regards,
Paras Bhalla
