    We are off to a slow start this year I have had a couple of broad bodied chasers a few large red and common blue damselflies but very few photographic opportunities.

    Good strong diagonal and I like the shimmer on the wings. The dof and background are excellent. I like.

    I echo Ron's comments, lovely image. I don't see damselflies much in Florida so this is a pleasure. Thank you for sharing, Jon.

    Beautiful specimen, sharp and detailed. Look like it is angled away but all the body is in focus. Optical illusion, I guess.
