Continuing my theme of out-of-season archive shots this is a pair of mating damselflys photographed in the New Forest a couple of years ago.

The shallow DoF and slight wind movement made it a bit of a sod to capture a completely sharp photograph but this one just about passes muster.

A beautiful shot! I like the way the background is dark, the damsels really stand out - such a beautiful colour!

I do like the colours against the out of focus background - and you can see the combined heart-shape of their bodies. Really nice capture.
