One more Damsel (head on)

Paul Iddon

Here is another damselfly (this had a brown neck) looking this time from the front. Maybe not as "in your face" as yesterday's photo, but I have been wanting to ty and get a full frontal for while, but it isn't easy. I do like the dynamic angles on this though as well.

Anyway, this one was ok, and stayed still for a while.

C&C as always.

This is the same damselfly on the grass, more of a wider shot so you can see a bit of what it is stood on. Not quite as sharp as the close-up, but I do like the way the damselfly is giving a "salute" to me.
