I'll bet it was difficult to spot !!!! I like the perch and sharpness through out Sure wish the bug had the wings stretch up I do find the image appealing !!!! Congrats !!!
Hi Jacqui
Probably not only quiet rare, but quite rare as well (I make the same typo all the time too!!). Great image and I like the angle of the damsel which fits nicely in the frame for a long subject like that. Nice bokeh in the background and good focus on the subject.
I like this image Jacqui - Nice sharp image, interesting perch with some added spider web, all set against an excellent soft BG. Just nit-picking but perhaps composition could have been improved by placing perch on the rule of thirds - this would have the added result of placing the end of the tail a little closer to the right hand corner.
Thank you for the encouraging comments, they are much appreciated,:)
The perch was a bush of old flowers which I just happened to spot the damselfly on which meant that it was a case of photograph it now before it moved off, I did manage to keep my eye on it for a while as it flew onto another area but it really was so fine much thiner than the normal damselflies it was almost impossible to find again :(
