(thanks for the ID, Tom :) )

Canon 80D
100mm Tokina
1/30
f/10
ISO160

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

Another excellent image that hits the spot = personally I find the interaction of subject and perch more appealing in this one

All the best
Matthew

Very nice symmetry. I also like the background.

Even better than the last one! Beautiful! They must be very passive to allow you to move them around.

Thanks, Cynthia
It was early in the morning - it was cool and there was some dew on their wings so they were pretty much at my mercy ;)

Nicely done. the setup works well, getting them all in the one plane I guess must have been challenging
