From the perch to the damselfly the detail is excellent. Nice capture.

I think the fern frond makes a cool perch Graham, I like it.
Excellent details where they count, nice soft light & great color

Hi Graham,
You did very well for a 1/30th sec exposure. Abdomen is angled slightly off plane of focus, but head, thorax and wings are tack sharp................................Jim

Excellent DF image, Graham. I like the bg and perch - adds interesting shapes and nice contrasting color allowing the beautiful blue DF to really stand out.

This is a beauty, Graham. I'm really enjoying the subtle touches of purple in the eyes, legs, and thorax. The curled fern frond makes a fine perch that adds some extra interest.

Excellent detail and perfect dof, Graham. Apart from the macro detail the composition makes this particularly good - I really like the way the plant recedes into the distance, setting the insect nicely in its environment.
