Hi Chi,
great sharpness and details.
The DOF is also very good, the damselfy stands out very well from the BG.
Well composed, nice colours and good POV.
Excellent work.

Damn this is sharp - well done and I like the composition and presentation.

Looks really good. The fill flash emphasizes well the pattern on the transparent wings.

Regards, Petru

Beautiful clear shot, great sharpness, detail, color and composition. Like it a lot, but isn't it the Common Bluetail (Ischnura heterosticta), from the Blue-tailed (Ischnura elegans) the blue on the tail is confined to segment 8.

Hi Chi, this is lovely! The focus and DOF are perfect. May I suggest a little noise reduction on the BG only? Very nice work.
