    I am assuming it was the spider that made a mess of this common blue damselfly, when I arrived the spider was feeding. Unfortunately it would not display it's head for me, it obstinately remained on the far side of the damselfly.

    Predators eating predators - it happens a lot in the invertebrate world. Despite not being able to see the spider's head (a very minor point for me), you have good overall sharpness, soft light, and an OOF background. You might consider toning down the brighter areas of the background a little, but this is another minor point. Very nicely done!

    Very nice behavioral capture - nature at work. Nice focus and I like the background.
