Newly emerged damselfly.
Not keep on the dark BG in the top right, but could not really be avoided due to flash being only source of light.
Thanks for viewing.

Hi

A good close up shot that is imo looking good - nice paralleled view of the head and decent frontal DOF/sharpness that has the subject receding into the image which I like. The dark backdrop is pretty much a given unless you use a more balanced flash ratio - and that would almost certainly require a tripod

All the best
Matthew

Good shot here with excellent detail. The dark area isn't too bad in this case.

Fine face-on closeup - and an accomplishment to get this close with the MP-E65. Damsels are quite flighty.

And I don't think the dark background area is much of a nit.
