OUTSTANDING capture, very sharp details and well done on this composition.
Great DOF, excellent timing!!!

I know how hard it is, I tried to catch one (Dragonfly) with my S5000 (my last post), but I failed.

Bravo Alan!

Great macro, Alan.
You have caught a great moment, both a tandem and flight-in.
Very well composed, nice colours, good POV and very good details.
Excelent work.

Incredible ! Not only the scenery is funny, but you succeeded in capturing each dragonfly within a correct focus.
A great, great shot indeed.. I don't think this kind of pic will be renewed soon !
Thank you Alan.

Beautiful and skillful capture, Alan. Tha composition and clearness are very nice. Just a pity the one in flight scapes a bit out of DOF, but taking into acount the scene captured it is a GREAT shot.
Congratulations for this one. Regards, Felipe.

Fantastic macro capture Alan, one of your best. When I see a shot like this I love to view the settings. The in-flight dragonfly is a real bonus . Brilliant work.

Hi Alan, very nice work. You did brilliantly to capture this. The flying common blue is not so much a voyer as an observer of another species, the mating pair are Blue-tailed damselflies (Ischnura elegans) - can you see the difference in the thorax pattern (and abdomen)?

Very well done.

Now, how did you get this one by me?
Holy cow!!! Three in one.
There is a dragon/damsel fight going on here at Trek N.
I just said to another, the best on Trek N.

S..T!!! I don't know who now.
Tied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent work, SIR ALAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is very difficult to find damselfly, and you, lucky you capture 3 on same photo, with love and fly... Well done action shot. TFS Alan.

Hi Alan,

Did you take a day off the spy the sexlife of those animals?

Again a very interesting one. Who got the bride?

This is a really exceptional shot Alan. If it were mine I'd be totally proud of it, although I'd also consider cropping some of the left side of the photo. Either way, it's outstanding.

Hi Alan, what a great shot.
To see a couple of damselflies is so wonderful, but here together with a flying one and with such excellent sharpness - that's magic! How have you managed this?
PERFECT

Very good timing Alan; Like Paul says(PDP) the mating pair are ischnura elegans(Blue-tailed Damselfly) but the voyeur is of another species.
This male voyeur is Enallagma cyathigerum (Common Blue Damselfly).
