Beautiful John very nice indeed, just a tad over saturated on my monitor but excellent.

Gorgeous gleaming details in this, and a lovely composition of the long slender abdomen of the damselfly and the simple curved perch of grass. Great subtle bkgd with the green appearing as a nice base framing element, and that greenish color also repeating higher up in the bkgd unifying the image.
