Hi Andrew,
Wow! This is very good for your first attempt with damselfly, you had an amazing timing! I think it is the first time I see one eating :) Great details and good compo! Impressive picture! TFS,

Hello Andrew,
A great macro shot, excellent detail and good colours. Great light, especially across the background. DOF is a little shallow (only my opinion of course, everybody has different ideas about it) but it's hard I think when you are so close to the subject. Great work.
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Andrew,
What kind a bug was eaten? I hope it was a spider! I saw at this site lots of spiders that eat other bugs. Finally I see a bug eat spider. Revenge :)

This capture not need any critique. Because al details are perfect. Congratulations.
Regards.

Hi Andrew,
This is an excellent first damselfly capture.
The details are nice, clear and sharp.
Good colours, lighting and exposure. DOF is spot on and the POV is good.
Well composed. I'm not 100% sure of the ID, but this could be a female common blue damselfly.
Thanks for posting, have a great end to the week.

Before I started taking photos of these and other insects, I don't think I really noticed them. Now I see them everywhere!

a very good shot Andrew,
well captured, nice composition, for myself I would crop it a little from the right side to become a higher shot, but that's personal, good work.

So wonderful, Andrew,
it's an excellent close-up of this dramatic moment - I love the eye of this cute damsel and the warm colours. Very well done, thanks
