Winter is throwing up a lot of macro life, and have not seen so many Damselflies...

Love the backlighting and still getting good focus and color on the subject!   You might dampen the light on the grass...it is even making a star, that distracts.  Then a bit of light thrown on the subject would be nice.  Have fun with the damsels...love macro!crying

This one is a beauty, Balan.  The way the damsel's colors coordinate, thorax and face with the background and abdomen with the perch, adds a lot to this image.

Perfect angle, Balan.  Excellent detail throughout.  I like the lighting a lot.
