Captured this image last summer on my local river.
Canon 1D MkIII EF100-400 @ 400 f5.6 1/250sec ISO 200 Handheld

Did not think this was a Macro shot but please move if you think it should be in that section

Hello Pete,

Very striking colours in this one, and I really like the reflection of the damselfly.Also I can see that you thought about your composition. However...the little twig coming out of the water in the upper left and the brown blob (leaf) on the right are soo dominant in frame that they take away my attention from the damselfly....

Jasper thanks for the feedback much appreciated. When I get time I will have a play with the image to remove those...
