Coenagrion puella, female

This picture was taken with harsh light. I could almost not seen if I had a good focus on the screen. I have already published a picture of the same species earlier (see there the information over the species).

I know that technically it is not the best picture, but I like it :-)

This will be my last post from Eindhoven since I am going to vacation tomorrow evening. Hope to be able to post another picture next week from Brittany.

Kind regards,
Mariki

Hello Marie!

Excellent idea for photo. Damselfly with shadow looks much better then without it :-) I like compositon, sharp details and BG. Slightly too harsh light in my oppinion.

Hi Marie,
A lovely capture of this beautiful damselfly. Superb details and a lovely composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

hello marie,
nice capture, the shadow of the leaf makes the capture interesting, you have managed exposure well in the harsh light,
tfs & regards

Bonjour Marie-Christine,
Intéressant ce reflet et aussi la courbe de la demoiselle, un peu inhabituelle. J'attend avec impatience tes photos de Bretagne. Espérons que le soleil sera de la partie!
Amitiés,
Catherine

Salut Marie,une tres belle photo tres difficile a capturer a cause de la mauvaise position de l'insect et de la lumiere,mes plus gros compliments,l'effect "shadow" sur la feuille est res jolie,bonne soiree',Luciano

Hi Marie,
Wonderful shot of this damselfly and you have handled the harsh lighting pretty well. Very neat and sharp image with nice colours. I like this bent pose and the shadow cast by the sunlight. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Marie Christine

Hola Marie.
Bella foto. La libelula luce sus hermosos colores en verde que contrastan con la hoja en donde se posa. Alta nitidez e iluminacion logrados aqui.
Saludos marie.

Hallo Marie,

Een mooie compositie van deze libelle. Schitterend zo die schaduw op het blad. De libelle zelf is glashelder en zeer scherp. Blijft toch altijd mooi die fijne lijntjes in de vleugeltjes.

Ik hoop dat je een prettige vakntie hebt gehad in Engeland.

Groeten en TFS BOB

Hi Marie.
Great close-up with so attractive lighting, sweet scene and superb sharpness of the main subject. I also like some blurriness of the BG which stands out off main subject perfectly. My best wishes and TFS. Well done.
Alexei.

Hi Marie

Usually shots in harsh light are not great but you made the most of it with this great shadow. Good work handling the difficult conditions so well. It is sharp and beautifully composed
