Got this one today.

Closest i have ever been to a damselfly without disturbing it.
I think it tolerated my presence, because it was chewing up a big meal when i found it.

30D
EF-S 60mm macro

What do you think?

Thanks.

Well, I think this damsel is munching.

Nice creature with lovely colours.

I wonder how it get balance with this elongated body? Where is the barycenter? The rear long narrow part must be lighter than short chest?

Nice natural setting and lighting, good background and excellent DOF and focus on the beautiful damselfly IMO.

Nah Nikola this is it Munching..

I think its eating a fly, cause theres a little bubble you can see that resembles the bubble that flies love to blow.

I think that the rear part must be lighter too. Strange Anatomy isnt it?
Thanks Nikola.

Thanks Bruce, I dont think theres any Damselflies in Australia, Least i havent seen any. That i am glad i have a good photograph.

Thanks doug! I try hard to make my photographs as natural as posible. afterall it is in my goals to capture the beauty of nature.
