Pair of damselflies.
Had some fun with these guys.
Have to admit I didn't find them this way.
Found them separately and placed them on the same flower.
Totally set up.

Hi

A fun image that certainly works well - a lot of shots are set ups to one degree or another; my personal favourite approach is to use some wire to hold foliage out of the way crafting a cleaning surround. There's an old phase that says the camera never lies, I tend to think the camera always lies nowadays lol. Which is not knocking this image - its grand and i have certainly enjoyed it

All the best
Matthew

Hard to imagine a better combination, even it it's a set up. That's a male and a female Eastern Forktail...

Thanks for your honest description, and who would blame you for wanting this beautifully composed scene? Just charming.
