First time I see this Lesley. May be you have the right ID.
I like it. We can see the leg's reflection in the water. Your title is very appropriated for this Nature's beauty.
Good composition and great DOF. TFS.

Truely a beautiful damselfly. I see them all the time when I'm fishing. They like to hang around the river bank. Excelent cature as they don't like to sit long.
Well done

Good shot! The damselfly himself is nicely captured (although I'd probably like a little more DOF to bring the tip of the abdomen sharp). I'm in two minds about the leaf in bokeh that seems to mirror the pose of the damselfly - on some levels I like the way it echoes the damselfly, but sometimes I wonder whether it distracts from him instead. Anyway a very nice capture :-D

Hi Lesley what you have here is what we this side of the pond call a Demoiselle , because it holds its wings together above its body instead of folded along side the body. I looks so close to our Calopteryx virgo (Beautiful Demoiselle, your wings look slightly darker but thats all.
Have a look at this one for some more info on demoiselles its our other speices the banded one because the black is only in the middle of the wing.

It a very good capture of this critter. The metallic is really nice and I wish I could see one in real life.

Good shot Lesley. Nice detail on the legs and torso. A bit soft on the tail, but not really a worry. I did 'n WS, hope you like it.

Lesley, Great detail shown. I don't think I've seen this one before. The blue-green metallic along with the black wings & large black eyes give this one a very unique look. Great comp. with the wet leaf adding a nice effect to the shot. Well done!

Un bonita composicion a partir de un agradable POV que permite ver el insecto en todo su esplendor.
Buena agudeza y colorido, con atinado DOF y encuadre.
La segunda imagen del workshop es de inferior calidad que esta.

A pretty composition from an pleasant POV that allows to see the insect in all their splendor.
Good colorful and sharpness, with accurate DOF and frame.
The second image of workshop is of inferior quality that this.

This is truly beautiful. The damselfly is sharp from end to end and I love the color.

Thanks for posting

Hello Lesley,
What a metallic beauty. Very nice compo and big smile although the eyes are a bit out of focus.
