Damselflies Mating

Hi everyone! We went to Croatia today for a nice trip with my girlfriend, took a look at the castle in Donji Miholjac then on the way back we stopped at some lakes by Drava river. There where lots of damselflies and birds there, a real photographer's heaven!

This is the first shot I post from this trip but there be other ones for sure..

The species: Enallagma cyathigerum - Common Blue Damselfly
I identified it by Grzegorz's (red45) picture.

Took the shot with my 35-135 Nikkor in macro mode + 2xTC + flash. Little crop and adjustments.

Best regards,
Andor

On a serious note, an awesome macro.I love your sense of timing and the unique pose you captured (LOL! I know what you're thinkin', mate!!!)!
The best part is how you've got it so crisp and sharp, it could like just cut!!!
Take a bow, my friend!
YOu've conquered macros, big time!

Bonjour Andor
Trčs belle prise de vue de cet accoouplement
netteté, couleurs sont superbe, un cadrage un peu plus large aurrait été necéssaire.
Amicalement Robi
