I took dozens of shots of the head and body, thinking the flat wing would be uninteresting. Just before I packed up, I made one attempt at this. Now, I wish I'd taken the time to get it right because it was the best pic of the day! I think most people will like the left half the most but I prefer the veining of the brown. #MetalwingDamselfly #ExtremeMacro #photography #60mm #raynox #olympusomd #em1markii #macrophotopgraphy #damselfly #Neurobasis #chinensis #insectphotography
