Hi friend Nick, as I seen you also changed your main subject (birds). In this way I understood that you are also an expert on macro-photography. All are perfect my friend! TFS.
With best wishes and Cheers,

Hi Nick

Lovely capture - beautiful strong colours and excellent detail. I have loads of these at the bottom of my garden - but there is a load of flowering May on the other bank - so I have not even tried!

Hello Nicholas,

Excellent composition. Great sharpness and colours. I like the low sunlight of the morning and the dew on the leaves. We have had summer weather in the Netherlands already for more than one week. It is very warm and the only insects which can be seen at noon and in the afternoon are the damselflies, today, dragonflies and the ladybirds.
Cheers,
Mariki

Hi Nick,

Another wonderful damselfly. Razor sharp details of the face and body. The wings are magnificent. The droplets on the leaves are an added touch.

Hello Nicholas,
early morning appears the best time to achieve good pictures of many insects, in particular fast and shy ones.
This is a beautiful capture of a female splendens with optimal light to show the beauty of the insect
and its green sunny environment. Besides the attractive composition, your picture is also technically excellent.
Best wishes, Peter

I could be wrong but it seems some of your clarity has improved on the insect side....maybe I'm not taking enough time to go through and compare all but this one couldn't be much better than it is Nick!

Hello Nicholas,

What a very sharp photo of this Female Banded Demoiselle. I like the early morning photos always. You can see the dew on the leaves. Your Damsel is warming-up for the rest of here day. Warm colors of the Damsel. But maybe is the green color of the leave where the damsel sit on (rightside) a bit to hard. Anyway a beautiful shot. Regards and TFS BOB
