Hi Monika!
Very good macro. Common is proper word to describe this insect :-) Maybe even plague is better :-) Anyway - very good details and quality. As always I'm surprised that you achieved so good result with your compact. I like body of damselfly - it looks like painted porcelain. Intersting note, don't walk to much without hat ;-)

Hi Monika,
Very sharp and clear picture. Your cropped create a mystery of missing parts. Yes this is something different and very interesting.

Hi Monika,
Very nicely composed, and an excellent POV.

Hi Monika
Very nice macro shot. I think it's good to do something different and this works very well. I think having the wing in the bottom corner helps a lot, but I'm not sure why :-) It just looks right. Technically it's everything we've come to expect from you, perfect exposure, DOF, great detail and lovely colours. A nice composition, good work.
Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Monika !
This is really an awesome shot ! Excellent details - we can even see the little hairs - and wonderful colors on the damsel's body, I like this pale blue so much ! Fantastic composition and excellent DOF, with a blurred BG that highlights the damselfly very nicely. Very well done !

Hi Monika.
What a beautiful shot. Astounding combination of green and light-blue colours, isolation of main subject and BG. Sharpness of details is outstanding. Composition and POV are excellent. Perfect done. TFS.

Hi Monika,
Good detail, colours and sharpness. exposure and lighting are good. Good POV and composition.
I have a feeling this is an Azure Damselfly (Coenagrion puella), but I'm not 100% on that.

Thanks for posting, have a great week ;)

Hello Monika, I'm amazed at the DOF you get for F2.8! It's a great composition with a good BG too. The focus looks fine and it's definitely blue :-) Well done.

Cette prise est superbe et originale. Les couleurs sont douces et le contraste légé et frapant à la foi.

Bravo pour la netteté et la compo.
Merci.

A great macro, perfect DOF, even the feet are in focus which are what usually fall outside the acceptable DOF. lovely blurred background. Perfect exposure and good colour as well. I wonder if I should get myself a compact camera instead of buying a macro lens for my SLR? :)

Excellent detail in this close up macro, once again the blues and greens are a dynamite combination that makes this an exciting image. :)
