Hi Nick,

Unusual shot with the two damselflies on separate leaves. Colors are wonderful - I love the red and greens. Excellent details of the heads, bodies, wings, and legs.

Hello Nicholas,
also a very acrobatic scene of the damselflies (see the picture of Anne 'anel'!).
You selected the most appropriate point of view so that the couple is entirely in the focus plane.
Well composed and beautiful light.
Best wishes, Peter

Very nice Sir Nick! It is another letter from Sesame Street! Although I don't think they could run it on G for general audiences without either ignoring what it means or telling it for parents...Very well seen...nice colours as well.

Hi Nicholas,

It is a very good shot. Very accurate focusing with DOF well adapted to the subject so that insects bodyes can be clearli seend. Even fine details can be oserved as for example the harry structure of the plant. Good lighting solution. Sparks of light from the lower dragonflys wings and from both insects eye bring more life to the image.

Congratulations,
Cristian

Hello Nicholas,
We obviuosly had the same subject , just a different moment of the action.
Very good approach and framing. Just a little remark, you lost the "l" in nymphula in your note.
Un bon dimanche

Hi Nicholas,
Very nice mating capture, the reds of the damsels contrast well with the greens of the BG. Well composed with excellent DOF, color, exposure, and great details :)
Well done & TFS!

A fine macro-capture indeed from a favourable lateral viewpoint Nicholas, their contrasty colours isolate the "damsels" easily from the immediate BG. Hope the one in the south survived the choking incident!

hello Nicholas
I think Pyrrhosoma nymphua is active commonly in nowadays. I cant see them in nature for this year, but today I saw three photograph on TN. This is great macro of red damselflies in couplation. Sharp details and POV great as like splendid coloration, lighting and timing. Thanks for sharing, have a nice weekend my friend
