Mating blue tailed damselfly pair.

I was in the Streekbos again when i saw this mating damselfly pair. almost got backpain from watching how their bodies were. it was littered with mating damselflys that day. i am interrested in how you guys find this photo and also the way they mate, as i didnt know it. as always i am open for feedback as i am still learning as a beginner.

It's a good shot, Rudolph, I particularly like that you left some room around the subject, this gives some more context to the scene.

Fun fact about their mating: the "hooks" by which they cling into each other, only fit for the same species. Posted 8 years ago

  Thanks for the compliment ferdy. it indeed gives some more context. i am happy that it turned out this way.
  
  oh haha, that indeed is a fun fact. and pretty astounding that nature works like this, even with animals this small. didnt know that, since i am more focussing on close up photography i have learned alot about nature already. and there is much more to learn. Posted 8 years ago

Look at this, I mean, this recording may be certain. All that's a bit of a pity is the twig for the rest I have no comments. Keep it up. Now another real macro. Posted 8 years ago
