This sky blue damsel fly is perched vertically on vegetaition in the lower half of the (portrait format) image with the eyes and head sharply focused. The body is in softer focus and the single horizontal leaf by the insects head goes to the left. The composition allows copy title or headline etc and the image can be flipped as required. Ideal book cover magazine front page etc as the subject is minimal for maximum editing room.
