1. Blue Damsel
BY TONYNORTH
This stunning macro image was created entirely in-camera. The purple vignette was formed by shooting through a carefully arranged frame of purple loosestrife. This guides the viewer directly towards the blue-tailed damselfly, resplendent in morning dew and beautifully sharp. Crucially, the background is neutrally toned, so it doesn’t detract from the subject or vignette.
Camera: Nikon D500
105mm f/2.8
