Mating damsels

[John Robinson]

Azure damselflies.
I got quite comfy on two old cushions at the side of one of my garden ponds.. The difficult bit is getting up again after half an hour ! There were dozens of these flying around and landing on the fringed lily pads. I was actually trying tyo get low down on skaters so these were a bonus.

In the foreground to the left of the bottom critter, I might have retouched in the oof frame for the lily pad, to keep the focus on the mating pair. I am wishing you had pointed a lttle to the left, so as to give us more room on the right and less empty space on the right. The two frames covered the dof we need nicely. It is notable that you were able to stack without a tripod. Sometimes the software works nicely.

Thanks Ron
Do you not mean more room on the right ? I can do that but would be a job the other way around. I think I know what you mean.
