Hello Martin !
What a great picture this is ! Excellent focus on the damseldly's head, where we can see many details with wonderful sharpness. I also like thecomposition of this picture, as well as the blured BG with vivid yellow color, makes the insect stand out very nicely. Very well done !
Valerie.

Hi Martin

Another very nice macro from you.
The use of rather shallow DOF here allows a better isolation of the head and especially the eyes of this lovely Lestes, bringing also the entire damsel more from teh uniform BG.
Very nice composition and spot-on exposure as well - with really good fill-in flash work.

Bravo and thanks for sharing
Horia

Hi Martin,
I heard about this lens but it has a nice performance also you did frame this well with blur background.

Hi Martin,

Nice macro of the Damselfy. Quite a different POV where the eyes are focused and sharp.

Regards,
Sowmya
