    Default Damselfly

    This Damselfly is one of the (many) Bluets (Enallagma spp.) - I think. This image was taken on one of those rare occasions when overcast light, no wind, and a cooperative subject occur simultaneously. 40D, Canon 180mm macro + 1.4X, 1/13, f/11, ISO 400, tripod, mirror lock, cable release, natural light. Comments are welcome.

    Stephen, the dragonfly is excellent! Love the sharpness from head to tail and all the details in the hairs around his head and body. I think the one place you might be able to improve on this lovely image would be to bring the BG up a bit more in exposure in the darker areas (such as below his wings and body area.) To me, the image would have even more pop if the BG was closer to the shade of green in the URC - but again, this is a fairly minor point - just something to tweak if you wanted to.

    Hi, Steve, Excellent details and sharpness on the damselfly! Very nice composition. Personally I might add a little more room to the right, but that's a minor point. Well done!
