Bluet damselfly
A pond bluet (Azure bluet, I think) taken at a pond I’ve visited a lot this summer:
I wish there were more depth of field, but there’s a quality to this image I like. The pond meadow just was mowed, so it’s not going to be an interesting place to visit for a while. All the flowers and many bugs are gone, though a number of these bluets remain. There’s still a flock of visiting cedar waxwings in residence, though there are fewer berries to eat now.
Mowing has benefits – the area stays in early succession, doesn’t get grown over, there is more diversity. If only they had waited until fall!

The DOF is just perfect to me. I like how the stem comes out of nothing in the bottom. Also colours and composition are great. Perfect image in my opinion.
Hi Thomas,
A perfect shot of a beautiful lady! I’ve been trying some shots like this this summer but I was not that successful… Yours is awesome.
I think the composition works well here. The damsel and its position reminds me, in a way, of an antique hat pin. Details and color superb. I do like this one.
This is one of the best damselfly photos I have ever seen. The dof is excellent and hard to do on this type of subject. First rate.
Excellent detail and beautiful background. Superb image.
Anda membuat foto yang spektakular… saya mengharap foto-foto odonata berikut dapat ada tampilkan… thanks!
