Great macro of the damselfly. Very sharp and clean image. How did you make it?

Thank you, Philip. Sometimes damselflies return to the same place where they were resting. When it occurs, they may return several times and within a couple of seconds. I try to take advantage of this habit. It is a matter of luck whether the insect returns exactly to the same place, not a couple inches away and in the plane where the focus is preset. In this regard, my “luck rate” is about 1:50. You can tell from the stretched legs leaning forward that it is just about to land. Best,-

Adorable winged beauty and the whole insect series, Sandor! Well done! Sincerely, Tatiana P.S. I did not know about the habit of insects to return to exactly the same place. I will try to take advantage of your experience.

Thank you, Tatiana, for the kind words. Please note, of the insects I have ever tried to make a photo of, only dragonflies and damselflies have this habit of returning occasionally to the same place for rest. Kind regards, Sandor

Excellent job of capturing the insect in motion, Sandor. Very nice details, colors and composition. Best regards, Paul.
