Great colors, cute little thing, very good details and sharpnes. I don't know if you have noticed but sometimes when I make photos like this one there is too much light on the leaves and that distracts from the insect when you look at the photo, I think that some kind of shadow should be done on the background and leaves to make the insect look better. It's really annoying thing that too-green color.

hola Paulo,
Bellisima libélula, tiene unos colores metálicos alucinantes, la has retratado muy bien, con detalles muy buenos y lindos colores.
Que hay en la otra hoja, no lo distingo bien, una arañita u otra cosa?

Good capture of this metallic damsel. It may be common and I've seen it before on TN, but they are always a welcome sight. Must be great to see these in real life.
Good composition and sharpness.

I think I have posted one of these in the distant past and it is very nice to see the other sexes colour, I like the composition and detail available.

Is it on a potato leaf?

Hello Paulo,
Just updating my critique :-)
This is a very good shot of this damselfly. Details are very clear and sharp, light is nice too. I just think framing is a little bit too centered and the composition isn't strong.
Overall, well done on this one!

Calopteryx virgo is my favourite damselfly, they are so cute. I dont know why but when I shoot them, I feel they interact stablishing some kind of comunication with me, like in this shot, doesnt it look it is posing?
