Hello Jaap,

A beatiful capture of this "juffer", specially with the structure of the leaf as background.

Jaap you should try only sharping the lines. That is one of the PS options. Now the tail as a frost effect.

Diagonal composition is good Jaap, though personally I would have moved it towards the top corner just a little to get it's tail away from the edge more...

Hi Jaap,
Very nice close-up. Sharp details, lively colours and effective DoF. A minor nit from my side; the space at the top left can be less.
Well done.

Hello Jaap,
that's your lucky shot, so sharp and with wonderful colours - and - with open wings.
Damselflies normaly don't rest with open wings, you catched a wonderful moment.
I often tried to make a sharp shot of this insects, but one time the back was too soft, the other time the eyes, your fly is sharp everywhere, that's magic for me.
Perfect, thanks a lot for showing, greetings

Hoi Jaap,
Ik blijf er bij, ofwel heeft u een zevende zintuig, ofwel heeft een afspraak met deze libellen, want ik zoek al de ganse zomer om eentje voor lens te krijgen, ofwel zijn de vleugels niet open, ofwel is de vogel gaan vliegen, het blijven juweeltjes, sorry dat ik in herhaling moet vallen, maar het is wel in de positieve zin nietwaar!
Groeten,
John.

Great macro Jaap,
Perhaps a little bit too much compression as there are quite a few artefacts noticeable. I would love to see the uncompressed version. Well done and TFS

Jaap, a clear and sharp picture.

Great pov and composition - I like it.

The little overexposure upon the green leaves doesn't bother me.

It's a nice shot.

Maybe that I should leave more often ;-)
