Hello Horia,
Excellent presentation (both the main shot and the workshop) of this small damselfly. I don't tink I've ever seen it myself althought as you said it's a common species, also present in my area. Classic diagonal composition, very good colours and light.
Best greetings,
Michal

Salut Horia,
Super compozitia. Imi place cum sta libelula de-a lungul frunzei (stiu ca asa stau de obicei, dar tot imi place). Super culoarea ochilor.
BG perfect.
TFS!

Hi Horia,
Splendid shot of this damselfly. Perfect lighting and exposure. Very sharp details and a superb BG. I like the POV and the diagonal leaf, on which sits so majestically, running across the frame. Very nicely composed and framed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hello Horia!

Hi Horia.
I like this picture so much. Inclined leaf and damselfly are looked very nice. Composition and decoration of the shot are amazing as well as the wonderful BG, excellent sharpness and details of the insect, terrific colour palette of the image: soft and at the same time rich colours. Superb work. My compliments and TFS.

Good shot, Horia.
I like the background with that specific bluish which is matching very well with the damselfly's coloration.

Hi Horia

A really good shot of this damselfly. The colours and sharpness are both excellent, the composition likewise very strong. Usually, I am not keen on frames (actually, I don't even know how to use them)!, but this one is really good.

Hola Horia.
Una buena presentación en diagonal. La libélula se camufla con la rama y a simple vista puede pasar desapercibida, aunque el brillo de sus ojos la delata.
Buenos efectos y estupenda nota.
Hasta pronto, JL.

Nice work Horia. I like the simplicity of composition with the only sharp part being the damselfly and grass she is on. The background is beautifully out of focus. Effective framing...

Hi again again,
in other years this damsel would come to my garden, but this year I haven't seen them yet. And they are so pretty. I still wonder why they have their wings on only one side othe body in rest. I think it's got to do with catching as much sunlight as possible.
A nice capture with a nice frame as well. The shadow is maybe a tiny tiny tiny bit too close to the frame.

Hello Horia,
So, this is the damselfly that fits with your sun tan? :-))) It is a very nice and delicate capture of this beautiful insect. I love those details, diagonal composition a lot and those natural colors and exposure. The picture in WS is very good too. I also like this framing and beautiful BG. This is a very aesthetic capture. Well done and TFS,
Claudine

Hallo Horia,

This is a super image, and the whole damselfly is in focus. You did exceptionally well within the constraints of your equipment. Very good composition, and the picture is clean and well presented. Well done.
