That FACE! Wow!
I did not know they have such expressive FACES! This is so cool.
And as everyone says: the detail in this photo is amazing! Awesome.
And who knows me well enough will know that I love the colour of the background.

Cool! Great color, composition and wise use of selective DOF! Nicely done!

 

[JJP]

WOW! What great detail! Nice timing too lol! I really like this photo, good job.

 

[KonicaKyle]

Nice!!!!!

 

[zedin]

Wow nice! How did you get it to stay still long enough to get the shot off? They seem to be too jittery for me and fly away.

 

[tasman]

I love the face, it looks like something from one of those Disney movies.

Picture perfect Alex, I know how tricky these can be to shoot considering how small they are and you hit it right on! Great composition and exposure.

Thanks everyone!:mrgreen:

Alessandra- I use a 10D with a 100mm macro.

Zedin- Yes they are very flighty! This one was here for only about a second. Sometimes they spook off the leaf but come back. My husband always laughs when he sees me in the garden trying to wrangle the damselflies. I stood out there for an hour trying to get them "used" to me, but actually I think they have the memory span of a goldfish (about 3 seconds).:lmao:
