Hello Nicholas,
in contrast to the picture of "matisse02" (close to yours), you present a very colourful picture
with respect to the damselfly and the background. Both compositions work very well.
You selected the right focus plane to show thus the 'eye-catching' parts with pretty good sharpness.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Nick,
A fine capture of the Common Blue damselfly with excellent sharpness where it counts and a fine composition and DOF against the contrasting green BG.
It makes a fine tribute to our friend Ridvan and we wish him well on his Midsummer wedding.
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Hi Nick,

A wonderful dedication to Ridvan and his June Bride. I wondered what happened to him - glad he has been missing due to good things. This damselfly is lovely with the most wonderful colors. Sharp details and a nice pose.

Hi Nicholas,
Nicely captured and composed frame. Vivid blue of the damselfly makes a nice contrast with pastel background. I have several photos of the same species, you saved me from the trouble of identfying them. Thanks.

Hi Nick,

Nice macro shot with great depth of field. Not the best angle to shoot from as it's impossible to get the whole Damselfly into focus, but you've managed to produce a great picture despite this. The colours and lighht are superb.

Hello Nicholas
A wonderful capture of this Damselfly of beautiful blue color! Precise focus on the subject and excellent dof with beautiful bg colors and a very appropriate vertical composition. I would love to find one of these some day.
Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing.

...and here I thought I liked the golden ones best from India and Sumon etc...but perhaps this nice light blue will suit better. Can you ever imagine what it might look like beyond this life?! wow! If an entity can create these then what must lay beyond....ahhh...

Hi Nick,

I's nice to dedicate this beauty to Ridvan and his bride. What a clarity and colours. Nice compo.

One point of critique. I think you have in the editor to much used the sharpen function. See the rightside of the body

Do my wishes to him and his new bride all the best and
happiness.

For the rest a brilliant shot. Have a nice weekend Bob
