  1. Well done Josine! I have tried to photograph them as well, but didn't manage to get close enough (with the 90mm lens). Promoted! Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago
    1. It's my first photo of a damselfly, I'm proud it turned out very well. When it flew around the beautiful colours shimmered in the light of the sun. Thanks for the promotion. Posted 13 years ago
