Hello David,
You've captured this couple really well from a fine POV. Very impressive details and beautiful colours. I like the black edges of the wings and the dark blue eyes of the male clearly shown here. Beautiful leafy background too. Excellent composition. I wonder what species they are?
Many thanks, Ulla

Hi David,
A very crisp and clear image!
I like so much the macro made of this couple in action.
Good approach and sharp details all over.
It's so good the contrast made by the insect's colours bodies.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi David,

You were lucky to spot these two and you did them justice. A beautiful picture with the blue and gold against the fresh green leaf. Sharp details and a wonderful background.

Selam David,
Your ideal POV and finely adjusted DOF resulted in a sharply focused pair and a gradually blurring BG. The color and wing details are also very good, altogether a pleasant composition. TFS.

Shalom David,
This very nice shot for these beautiful damselflies in copulation. Composition, POV, details, sharpness great. Lighting, coloration also very nice. I'd like to learn their species, if you or anybody know.
thanks for sharing, best wishes

thanks for reply. this must be different from C. splendens. There are many shot of its on TN and other web. I have also. I dont mean Enallage fatime, if I didnt see female in yellowish, I would say that this is E. fatime, especially male damsel looks like from later species; but they with black edge, only tips of wings, not also Calopteryx. Best wishes

Ciao David,
complimenti per questa splendida immagine.
Penso anch'io che si tratta di Epallage fatime (Fam. Euphaeidae), una specie orientale, che dal NW dell'India arriva sino al Medio Oriente, Grecia, Bulgaria e Romania.
Grazie per questo interessante contributo.
