Great shot BE.
Composition with damselflies is always difficult- they are just too long and thin but yours works well.
Only thing I might have tried would have been to do a gaussian blur and darken on the background assuming you could isolate the damselfly, it's just a bit distracting.

good pic of the damsel flie, I was running around after them in the weekend, found them a challenge to capture, only thing i would try is to have the damsel flie closer the top of the frame and blur the back ground so its not to distracting.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm
I didn't see this one in my tour
Great composition on this, though the BG is less blurry than required , may be too close ??
Thanx for sharing
Regards
