Rob, This is a superb shot. The colours, the detail (hairs on legs), diagonal. This is good work. The note too, very informative. WOW. Thanx for sharing.

Robert
This is one, fine specimen, like his pose, which makes the picture. As a small nit, the tip of the leaf he is sitting on would have been a nice touch to the overall impact here.

Robert this is splendid. What a great macro you have here. Just look at the details on those wings. Teh structure is so well defined. The DoF is perfect and brings out this little critter against the background very ewll. Great job.

I never new these insects get this old, and now you tell me that the nymphs only get out the water at 2 yers old. Just shows you how much I know about this topic, but I'm learning fast here on TN. Very good DOF - there is not a spot on the subject that is out of focus.

Amazing shot, Robert. The sharpness and detail is spot on (look at those hairs emerging from the legs!) and the color setting is fabulous. Composition is also great with the demoiselle holding on to the bending grass. Great shot, accompanied by outstanding notes.

I have seen this insect many times but never this close.
The note is also very informative.
A definite favourite.

The first thing I like is the colours, what a wonderful blue against the green of the grass. It is very sharp and detailed and every part of the insect can be seen clearly. Really nice composition and close up shot.

Beautiful capture, nice and crisp against a nicely oof background. Good DOF, I agree with Callie about leaving the leaf tip in (if it's not too far off).

Very nice picture of this damselfly Robert. I think I spend most of last years summer chasing these ones - without succes of course.

I would prefer just a little more space in front of him. Apart from that I like the picture. It is very sharp and detailed and the colours are spot on.

Joli close-up. L'exposition de lumière juste et la netteté excellent, ce qui nous permet de bien voir les poils sur ses pattes. La composition est bien et le fond flou permet de bien séparer l'insecte du fond. Bravo.

What a beautiful creature he is. And what a nice picture you have made of him. I like how sharp and clear your image is and how you have captured his metalic look. Very descriptive and useful note as well.

Simply superb! Excellent in all respects; POV, DOF, composition, etc.

I especially like the simplicity of the image and the way the background is unobtrusive yet provides a wonderfully soft and natural backdrop.
