This damselfly is perhaps the most beautiful among all the species in the world, Greg.
Your brilliant capture of it supports my conviction.
You have handled your new dSLR camera with great ease and style in shooting this picture.
Superb focus, details, colours and composition.
Congratulations!

Hi Greg

A truely beautiful shot and indeed it sure feels great when you look at it on the computer and you see it all sharp but still with a blurry BG :) Congrats, my friend!
A superb macro, but i think this is not C. virgo but C. splendens.
Anyway, that doesn't make the picture any less stunning. The side POV is exceptional and the DOF is perfect!
Wonderful natural colors and spot-on exposure.

Bravo and TFS

Hello Greg,
I love this capture it is really superb!! Details are razor sharp and colours wonderful. The background is perfect to make it stand out and the composition delightful!!
The wind obviously takes them to strange places - one came to our garden the other week and settled on the hedge - the only water here is the bird bath!!
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Hi Grzegorz. I missed this one yesterday i was working very late. Its great when you get a picture you realy like , i can see why its this one. They are a beautiful insect and your close up shows it so well , with fine detail and colours. I like the pose on the single grass against the plain BG. well done TFS.

Hi Grzeg again,
I missed this one when You posted, I wasn't here on the site in the past few days. You know, a lot of working... :( Simply fantastic close-up, all details of the insect and the plant are crystal clear, with beautiful natural colors. I'm really glad You captured a local rarity - a few weeks ago I photographed a new specie in the Hungarian mycoflora.
Congrats for the photo, tfs, best wishes, László

Hi Greg,

What a splendid shot....great sharpness and clarity..and yes the new camera of yours works magic...

All the three shades of beautifulo blue looks wonderful on the damsel.The details are very well picked up and with excellent contrasts.The composition is wonderful with perch forming a lovely contrast against the blue colour of the subject.The smooth simple Bg sets off the subject very well.

Well done.
TFS & Cheers
