Wow this is a cool shot! Technically perfect and a great composition with nice background.

What equipment did you use for this?

Wow is all I can say. I have never been successful in shooting one of these in good light in the last 2 years.

Super image - the composition, paired pose, perch, detail and background all look great.

Love it for all the reasons already stated. I do like the different postures of the damselflies.
