Apologies, looks like I uploaded the smaller file, how ever, the larger version is right.

I like the warm morning light, Balan, and the separation of the subject from the bg. I also like the design created by the damsel and the lines of the grasses. Very nice overall. My only very minor suggestion would be to crop the bottom to get rid of that little piece of whatever that is protruding into the image.

The back lighting really sets this damsel aglow, Balan. I'm also enjoying the similarity in shape between the damsel and the single blade coming off to the right. Well seen.

Hi Balan,

For these long, skinny insects, I would come in with a tighter crop so that the insect fills the frame more. The lighting is interesting in a good way and helps light up the damselfly with warm color.....................Jim
