Superb capture.. The blue coloring is incredible and very well delivered in this shot. The details are also quite amazing. Merci Laurent

Salut Laurent,
C'est une superbe espèce que celle-ci! En effet, elle pourrait facilement inspirer les designers automobiles :-) Sa couleur est hallucinante et tu en as fais une excellente capture! Je serais bien impressionnées de tomber nez à nez avec un tel spéciment. Bravo!

Hello Laurent,
Stunning close capture of this magnificent calopterix! Excellent focus on the eyes and I like the movement of the wings. You've captured the metallic blue colour beautifully.
Excellent composition.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Laurent,

What a lovely damselfly. I have never seen anything as blue as this. Blue is a difficult clor to shoot. You did very well.

Hello Laurent,
this is a very nice picture. Good POV and sharpness. But I think you can make it better my friend. Why ISO 400 - you have used the flash? Very nice colours and good exposure. Thank you for posting. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Laurent. I have missed some of your recent photos and this one is superb. Such a luminous blue colour! What a lovely Dragonfly which you have caught very well. Excellent sharpness, great POV. I love the wings being slightly out of focus which adds movement. Super catch.
