Good to see you Mr. Sir Mike,
Don't worry about getting down lower for a better POV, the grass will grow :)
The OOF tail and legs aren't a problem for me as the rest of the damselfly is pin sharp
Good detail and colours. exposure and lighting are good. Good POV and composition. BG is spot on.

Thanks for posting, Have a great weekend.

What a lovely and interesting dameselfly that you have well captured ! The composition in diagonal is pleasant. Colors, exposure, BG, DOF and sharpness are very good !
Take care of your back... Bravo Mike and thanks for sharing.

Wow Mike,

This is a very good picture. There are no nits here, and I feel special mention must be made of the composition. Well done.

Hi Mike,
Great capture and well done on the composition and details :)
Excellent color and light, with your subject well seen from the BG..
Well done mf..

PS - I used the 20mm ext. tube at the Cockerell B-fly Center with the 400mm. Worked quite well to reel 'em in a bit.

Hi Mike,
a lovely shot and for a man with a bad back it's a great POV.
You still handle the tubes great.
Well composed and n ice colours.
Well done, my friend.

Hope you get well soon.
