Love the shot pin sharp when its slightly cooler they become dozy making it easier to capture

Beautifully composed with the subject forming its own leading line. Plenty of fine detail on the damsel. Could wish that OOF seed head did not cross in front of the otherwise sharp and interesting perch, but nature is not neat and orderly; I'm glad a leg is not obscured. VWD.

Lovely composition with the graceful seed head continuing the strong diagonal line of the damselfly. I like that a pale stem on the right echoes the diagonal line. What do you think of cropping just below that extra bit of seed head in the extreme upper left? I think the comp is stronger without it. I don't mind the oof stem in the foreground as it does not interfere with anything. Just love the brilliant blue color of these damselflies, and all the detail you captured.

I think you are right Nancy, I don't really understand why I left the top seed head in, I was probably in one of my "leave it alone" moods!

Hi Jon. Very nice comp, light, and sharpness! At first I didn't care for the OOF seed head in the foreground - but now it's not bothering me. I agree about the clipped section of seed head in the ULC - I would suggest cloning it rather than cropping more from the top - an easy fix to a very strong image!.
