Teneral azure damselfly in the garden. First of the "blue" damselflies I've seen this year.
All shots focus stacked using zerene. #1 natural light.

    Brian,

    The third one does it for me, especially the rendering of the ocelli.

    Do you know why there isn't black spot in the eyes?

    Thanks all for the comments - appreciated :)

    Predrag- I noticed that a newly emerged dragonfly also did not have the eye spots showing. The eye spot is an effect of the eye structure (it always "looks" at the camera). I can only assume that the eye structuire is not fully dried and so does give the normal optical properties.
