Well w'ere off to the new season, this is my first damsel to have emerged from my pond, all C&C welcome.

Very interesting and nice, Jon! Exposure, subjects, composition, background and sharpness are all excellent. But is there any way you could show the tip of the leaf that the critters are on, in the interest of completeness?

[Jonathan Ashton]

Hi Norm - the tip was not included in the original file, I think have another in the pipeline!

[Allen Sparks]

Hi Jonathan,
Very nice details, background, and composition as well. I agree seeing the tip of the leaf may help the image. A wonderful image either way.

Hi Jon. It looks like you're off to a great start on the new season! This is excellent in all respects - though I too find myself wishing to see the tip of the leaf. :S3:
