Damsel into the light

"Always shoot with the Sun behind you" they say.

I've always had problem with "rules"

Emerald Damselfly.

Re: Damsel into the light

I like that Mr Oy ..... it gives it a bit of mystery

Re: Damsel into the light

Different and as you say, ignore the rules

Re: Damsel into the light

It looks Japanese, not sure why I think that. Love it.

Re: Damsel into the light

Yes the lighting on the subject is great, but i do find the bright source pulls my eye away from the subject.

Re: Damsel into the light

Nice shot Mr Oy, agree with Nom, nothing lost if you crop ?

Re: Damsel into the light

Thanks for the replies folks.

I agree the crop does work too - but that's different photo. I like it with the Sun top right. I've had suggestions to remove the coloured lens flare blobs too.

Re: Damsel into the light

I tried looking at a crop, just below the Green spot above the Damselfly and it didn't work for me. I think that it could work cropping just above the Red spot - just my opinion on a good shot.
