cool KK.
I like the simplicity and the colors that make the damselfly 'pop'.
No clue on the ID :roll:
So what was the exposure for incident at zero?

Awesome shot. Great placement in the frame, nice angle, and perfect background.

Can't help on the ID, but love the shot.
I might like a slightly slower shutter speed for more wing blur, but great as-is

Let me see...according to the id book I have, my first guess would be a male Lyrothemis elegantissima. Since there isn't much dragons here with bright reddish eyes, yellow abodmen and black wing vien in Hong Kong. However, since we cannot view the back from here, I am sorry I cannot be 100% certain.

BTW, great catch! Looks like you've overcome the 1D2 AF problem, ay? :wink:

What's the matter KK? Did they run out of shorebirds for you to make awesome flight shots of? This is nice. I can't help with the ID on this, but I enjoyed the look.
