First damsels of the year

You guys are just a...ma...zing!!! You make my little hobby so worthwhile with all your incredible comments. I love this site!!!

I've now completed and submitted my latest assignment so I should have a bit of time back again...well until it all starts all over again and I become a stressy Mary once more :o)

Best get on with it then!

[Kd Wallis]

I loooove how soft is looks!! And what a pretty blue he is!!! Such a pretty shot Lisa!!!!

[Sassik]

Continuing with the green - keep it up! ;) Beautiful capture of the delicate damsel :)

[Simply Amanda]

Love your dreamy focus. You are doing awesome, lady. Are you on break from school now? You must be with such awesomeness:). Not that you weren't before and all...:)

[Lisa Pouncy]

@amandal No, no break. I have to read text books and papers and take notes and the assignments are pretty much one a month but I'll get from the end of October to the end of January off and then it's my final module. Finally finish in October 2014 and fingers crossed I'll have a degree :o) xx

[Amelie]

Great! I wish I could see them!!!

[Cathy Donohoue]

Wow you got a double!! I was thrilled to see my first ever colorful one. They do make it worthwhile.

[aurorajane]

Great shot - what are you studying?

[Maggiemae]

Beautiful wee insect - so brightly coloured - great choice to have all that background!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Super catch. They're such an amazing colour.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Spot on focus! Wow! I like how you did crop and zoom a lot on this one. The weeds and grass are so pretty and then one pop of blue. Fav

[Debbie]

Beautiful capture

[Lisa Pouncy]

@espyetta Thanks so much for the fav. I did take some shots with my macro but my focus was so off in them. This was taken with my 50mm and then I cropped it for the best composition (well, in my opinion anyway) xx

[Tara]

Gorgeous Lisa! Instant fav. I love the focus on the one in the front and the soft focus on the background. Awesome!

[Jennifer C]

Stunning Lisa. Just a killer dof!

Gorgeous. Wow. How did you manage to capture this so well!?

Good capture! Wish I could get a shot of a damselfly or a dragonfly. They just will not stay in one place long enough when I do happen to see one.
