A great entry for the Insect Photography contest. The colors are well rendered. The focus is clear. The composition is balanced and very interesting.

The capture of nature in action makes this photo unique.

Good luck in the contest Fred ~ Steve

This is one very unique and beautiful photograph of these two climbing up and helping each other on the way.
Great colors, splendid details and so nicely presented against solid background.

You made me smile Supergold, I really see them climbing. Sorry for the late reply, I was on a little vacation.

Comment from BarbaraKeener
Nice clear photo of an interesting subject. I always wondered how they did that. ð??? the colors are beautiful. In wondering what the background is? Did you block it out out of it sky out water? Best wishes.

Fred,
A beautiful & interesting picture of the Blue-tailed Damsel Flies caught in the act of mating. the blurred grey creating the perfect contrasting backdrop for the Damsel flies to stand out from. Artistic & interesting composition. framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

merci beaucoup pour les six *

Comment from TDtraditionalart
This is a fun shot! They posed so perfectly for you. Is it a mating ritual? The focus is great, shows off so many details. The colours are beautiful and the shot is nicely composed. Well done

many thanks ;
no ritual;

Comment from Fun_Clicker2020
It is such a nice shot but I know how difficult it is to capture damselflies. I have tried several times but couldn't get it. So I admire the picture a lot. Nice shot with good details and framing.

At my age I'm lucky to see it. It's not like grandma is out looking like when she was young..lol. at least at our age I don't have to worry about the old girl getting pregnant..well if she did I would be looked at as a superstud..lol the clarity is great. The angle of the shot of these critters having fun is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall
