[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Im not sure what composition for this damselfly with this set-up, magnification rate would be 3X I guess. It was early in the dewy morning, Im so lucky enough that this damselfly can tolerate my presence while shooting at close range, or perhaps still sleeping?
Comments and critiques are most welcome, thanks.

Camera set-up.

Hello Leo !
Wow, this is really an amazing close-up ! You can see each and every detail on the dragonfly, each little hair, with such clarity ! And the little drop of dew, they look fantastic. Composition, POV, colors, blurred BG, everything else is excellent too. Last summer I found a dragonfly early in the morning, it didn't move either, I could even touch it with the tip of my finger - it was still quite fresh, and it slept until the air was warmer. Maybe the same thing for your Dragonfly. Anyways, very well done on the picture !

What a nice profile portrait in high detail and perfect sharpness Leo, those dewdrops are extraordinary my friend, TFS indeed!

Awesome photo..well done! Great detail and sharpness on the dragonfly. The waterdrops are incredible. Thanks for sharing this lovely photo.

Hi Leo,
This is excellent work, great set-up with the Sigma 180mm + 1.4x
Those fine plant fibers, saturated with the small water droplets adds very well.
Everything looks about perfect, a wonderful closeup image here :)
