Love the acrobatics of mating. Very well done. Very nice composition, great background, great colors on the damselflies. sharp (except a couple of wings) and well detailed. I imagine it is hard to get them all in one plane, as I have never attempted to photograph these.

The behavior is great. The darker background is spot on. Framing is perfect for me.

The subjects are amazing and so is the image. If it were mine I would work on some of the uneven areas in the BKGR. Do you now if the male is the green one?
