Great POV, Chi Liu.
The damselflies never cease to amaze me by their contortions for the purpose of mating. You caught a really fantastic loop here.
The details are super sharp and the colors are stunning.
Wonderful composition. TFS. ; )

Hi Chi Liu,
Great shot of this mating pair. Well seen from the BG, with good color, light, DOF, and sharp details. Very good framing and POV as well. You can even see a few parasitic mites on the female.
Well done and Thank you!

Hi Chi,
Amazing detail in this shot. Great quality light and beautiful color saturation. Very clean backround. This looks great!

This is a very nice capture of these lovers. Beautiful colors, good details and a nice simple composition. Because of DOF, they are well isolated from the BG. Lovely heart shape too...
Congratulations Chi and TFS.

Hi Chi,
so amazing and sharp, the colours so brilliant, a wonderful shot.
It's always like a wonder to see them like little acrobats making love and babies ;-)
I also watched them several times this year at a small lake laying the eggs into water.
But this mating wheel is always the best moment you can catch, I love it, very well done, thanks

Stunning capture with loads of detail and sharpness. Great composition, but I may have given it a little more room on the LHS and Bottom. Great work.
