I suspect this is a common blue damselfly, this is one of the few images I have made using manual focus, I must admit I can't remember why, probably I couldn't get a convenient focus point or maybe there wasn't enough contrast to focus on Auto. I deliberately left the OOF stem on the right, I think it helps demonstrate a little authenticity, same goes for the slight smudge/streak on the left and the small amount of noise.
All C & C welcome.
