Emerald damselfly

[Jonathan Ashton]

Canon 1DX Canon 180mm macro Auto ISO 1250 1/800 sec f8
An entirely opportunistic shot, I was walking Barney at 8pm on the clay cliffs overlooking the River Dee, I spotted a damselfly then another, I had the camera with me just in case and I managed to get one despite the breeze. I quite liked the warm evening light.

Nice damselfly really like the light and the composition.

Hi Jon,
Yes the light is really nice here - also like the way the damselfly is grabbing the stem right at the fork. The green of this damsel is beautiful - well done.

Excellent head-to-tail sharpness plus great light, nice comp, and good background! Very well done!
