Amazing shot Miran with terrific clarity and wonderful color. I can't believe he sat still that long for you to capture him in all his blue glory. Excellent post and thanks for sharing him.

Plain??? To me this creature is one of mother nature's most magnificent, and the way you've captured it , with great focus and clear colors, is excellent

I wish I were that plain :) You've done an excellent job with the clarity and the nicely faded out background which could easily swallowed up the pleasing angle of the subject, as those background angles were running pretty much along the same lines, although nothing can compare to that electric blue. I also am enjoying the clarity on the leaf you captured him on. You can see every hair..so much so that at first I thought he was perched on a catepillar :) I'm beginning to understand now that I've looked at a lot of blues and greens on Caedes why I have always liked them so well. They are a comforting, soothing combination, and never fail to attract my eye no matter what the subject is. I also just have to comment on this little guy's body at the very tail of it...if I could make a fractal, I'd want it to turn out something along the lines that he's sporting. so Plain? No, no, and again, no... :)PJ

It's a exceptional macro and beautiful color, but it's also a damselfly. The wings are the giveaway; dragonflies wings don't fold.

A damselfly you say? Well, a damselfly it is then. In my language we only have one word for this type of insect (I think) and dragonfly was the only english translation I knew. One more thing learned today. :)

hardly plain!
its got the most awesome colours and geometric structures
youve caught the graduation of colours in its eyes and along each body segment perfectly

youve made a beautiful artful image capture of nature
well done

Lovely capture Miran. In the UK we call it a White-legged Damselfly because of the flattened white tibia on it's legs! If you'll forgive me for getting all technical - Odonata are split into two groups: Anisoptera or true dragonflies and Zygoptera or damselflies. But in any case they are all beautiful. But then, I'm biased....
