Very beautiful image with a classic pose of this agrion. The sharpness is perfect on the eyes, the colors are very good and the composition is really good.

Photographers Comment

"Common Blue Damselfly 'Peek a Boo'" was taken in my garden. It was a chilly summer’s morning when I found the damselfly. As I approached, it attempted to hide behind a blade of grass. This is how I got the image you see. I used a Canon 5D MKii with an MP-E65mm 1-5 x Macro lens, Macro Twin Lite MT-24ex and a slave 580EX Flash to light up the background grass. F/16, ISO 100, 125th sec.
