Platycnemis pennipes
White-legged Damselfly [EN] / Telekli Yusufçuk [TR]

This one was very active and took me a while to take a decent looking photograph.

A few words from wiki:

Mature adults differ from most other blue damselflies in having expanded white edges to the tibiae, paired black markings down most of the abdomen, broad pale brown antehumeral stripes and a pale brown pterostigmata.

The male has a blue abdomen that is often pale and usually has a greenish thorax.

The female is a very pale yellow-green colour with black markings.

Thanks.
Ali

Hello Ali,
Excellent capture of P. pennipes in a fine pose and nicely in focus. Good sharpness and natural colours against the soft background. A fine composition.
Many thanks, Ulla

Merhaba Ali!
As an entomologist I like a lot to watch good pictures with insects. And here we have one of them :)
Maybe the species is not rare (it is known from great part of Europe and Turkey) but it is very good presented. I like DOF and details :)
Best regards from Poland,
Radomir
