Wild June 4

I found this Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly posing for me on a path in the Kentucky woods.

Thank you Brian, Connie, Milanie, Babs, Clare, Dinah and Katy!

@milaniet I think the green you see is more from the fact that the wings are transparent than from a reflection.

Beautiful capture of such a dainty insect. What do you think about cropping some of the left hand leaf out? Wondered if it would make more focus on the insect.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@jennywren Thanks Jen- yes a good suggestion and I would have cropped this even tighter, but the quality of the shot was not that great since I was using the zoom of my Powershot in order to not scare him away. I've already cropped and sharpened it as much as I dare. But you are right to think it could go in even more. With my T3i I'd be able to do it, but not with this fixed lens.

@olivetreeann thanks for reply. It's a really lovely capture and the foliage is very attractive too. Fav

[Vesna]
