Large red damselfly with freshly caught dolichopid fly. I saw the damselfly catch the fly in mid air.

    Brian,

    Lovely action shots.

    I suppose a finger-tip pose helps with framing. It takes the Director's function to the limit. rolleyes1.gif

    Incredible how you catch these and get them to sit in your palm!

    Stunning ... as usual.
    You set the bar very high so consistently.
    A pleasure to view your work (but it leaves me shaking my head in wonder!!)
    My opinion does not necessarily make it true. What you do with my opinion is entirely up to you.

    Thanks for the comments Harold, SB and Ace.
