Hi Nick, darn fine flying thing you have there!!.. the light on this has given it a vibrancy and colour definition not seen for a while. The focus is good and the composition is excellent. Great POV and DoF.

Hola Nicholas, una toma con buena luz has evitado los brillos molestos, nitida y con unos colores muy llamativos. Un saludo

Well done Nick!!!!!!
Your first Damselfly of the year and I'm sure there'll be many more to come!
I found one if these Large Red Damselfies the other day but didn't get a shot anywhere near as good as this!
Very sharp with excellent detail.
Gorgeous colours and perfect light.
Great composition and POV.
Well done!!!

Hello Nicholas,

Very good picture of this damselfly. I had twice the opportunity to shoot the same species and unfortunately I missed it. I think you are right with the ID. Good sharpness on the whole insect and great colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hello Nick
You have really used the 180mm perfectly here on your first Damsel of the year..The f8 has really bought amazing details to this capture..It was a perfect choice despite the low shutter created...Its a stunning shot......I tried out the 150mm today but I am tempted by the 180mm solely on this shot!!
A good Sunday to you Nick

Hello Nick,

I am very impressed with this!
Not only the first of the year but the details are remarkable! Besides the accurate details of the fly, I can even see the tiny hairs on the edge of the leaf!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Very beautiful damselfly, Nicholas.
It has such a variety of colours on it even though the colour red dominates the abdomen part.
Very sharp and clear image. With your camera settings, you have achieved a wonderful DOF that suits the picture.

Hi Nick,

The damselfly and the leaf are both wonderful. Excellent colors and details of both. I love the fuzzy edges of the leaf. A perfect setting for the red damselfly.
