red damsel, butterfly and grasshopper.

All shot with Canon S3+500D

This red damselfly was shot a few days ago when it was breezy. The poor thing was struggling like mad to hang onto its perch, as I was also struggling to frame it...

I like the damsel I think focusing on the eye would have been better.

I like the light through the Skipper's wings - shame about the strong diagonal in the BG behind it.

Thanks guys. @Omri, I understand your point, but it was windy. I focussed on the reed and hoped!
@Racketman, yep good point. It's always a compromise isn't it? Lose the blade of grass in the BG and lose the sun through the wing as well. I shot a couple with a more head-on angle and didn't like them.
