A very beautiful photograph depicting this gorgeous Damsel Fly, so crammed packed with gorgeous natural colours , and wonderful detail. And the blue line around the piece just takes of the hard edges.

My favourite flying creature lying on the earth!
Still to bag one myself this year.
You've shown us so many different different specimens
in all their colours.

Lovely colours and detail, as Moira says looks cast aside and out of place.

Good subtle image Ed, always surprising how much lighter these are to the Azure ones, which are so very bright. Lou

Less is as we know often more, Ed, and here is nothing to distract from the beauty of the d'fly.

It's like the blind leading the blind Brian, but at least I can find my way out the end of the road, which is more than can be said for the other two herbert's
