Tripod, MLU, remote control, a little luck too in waiting for the breeze to halt.

All C&C welcome.
This is the first of the newly emerged damsels I have seen by my garden pond. It looks at though it had a tough time emerging from the exuvia judging by it's terminal body segments. I am not too sure what the bubbly stuff is on the tip of the tail.

Good technique and a very nice result! I like the diagonal comp, soft light, excellent sharpness, and the clean background. They don't all make it out of the exuvia in perfect condition - looks like maybe the wings are a bit deformed also. :S3:
