Hi Gert,
What I like here is the very good regularity in the light. With these, there are often some too bright spots and too much light contrast. Here, probably due to an overcast sky, you get the ideal conditions for shooting. Very well done at 1/50 and a focal distance of 180mm. Even with a monopod, you sure have stable hands :-). Nice tiny drops on the body. Well done my friend.

Hi Gert!

Nice macro of this cold damselfly. What I like is dew on its hairs and wings. Good details, diagonal composition, light.

ps. colder and colder in Poland, shorter days and no sign of butterflies. I hope winter won't be as long as last year...

Beautiful shot, Gert. The details are so amazingly sharp. I like the tiny rain droplets on the leaf. Wonderful composition with the diagonal.
Lovely capture and TFS. : )

Hi Gert,
of course, I like it.
It seems as the damselfly is looking curious, what you are doing. I like the small drops on it and on the leaf.
I never had the chance to see a damselfly at a rainy day or in the morning and I would like to know what they are doing at rainy days or where they are sleeping :-) O no - what am I writing here - only nonsens, sorry.
Thanks for your pretty fly, bye

Excellent work brother.
No more dragons or damsels here. I save one red dragonfly from drowning two days ago and I didnt saw anyone yesterday and today. Kaput!
Near to me, there are only squirrels, ducks and gulls to be photographed. I shall soon have to draw from my archives.
Thank you Gert.
