Hi

Had a ride up to Hic Bibi Coppull, with John, and we saw lots of Red Damsels, just love my 7D and sigma 105 macro, exifs on the border, and I used -2 flash compensation, hand held, C+C Welcome

love this the colour in the eyes are fab, like the composition looks like he/she is about to climb into your lens

 

[Kaolin]

Very impressive, love the metallic colours between the eyes, the flash brings this out really well.

Did you use any tubes or just the 105 lens?

 

[Just Dave]

Hi Dini

No tubes, just the 105mm

very nice pic but its not a Red Eyed Damsel. I think its a Large Red Damsel. The Red Eyed have a blue body I think and solid red eyes not banded.

Thanks Brian yeah its a large red damsel I didnt say it was a red eyed damsel

the eye eye in the title are just referring to its eyes looking at you, and me trying to be creative with the title

Look on the border at the top of the photo, its clearly named, "Red Damsel" and in my original post I mention red damsels
