Banded Demoiselle

Hi folks.

I took a trip down to RSPB Pulborough Brooks Monday of this week but it was a wipe out on the bird front regrettably.
Happily however, Banded Demoiselles were in abundance and this individual was an Equity card carrying, co-operative actor willing to give his all, in an inaugural photo shoot, posing patiently while I struggled to hand hold the rig in (what was by English standards) fair old heat.

Hi Steven and welcome, you have a fine shot there. I appreciate the cooperation afforded you by this demoiselle I know they are not always so obliging. Colours look good, I would suggest saturation and contrast could be reduced a tiny bit. I see a faint sharpening halo around the wings and tail.
I look forward to seeing some more of your images.

Nice view of this guy. The image looks quite small. Great background. Nice and sharp.
