29 Of The Most Impressive Shots From The “inFocus” Nature Photography Of The Year 2022 Contest

#23 “Dance-Off!”, Jury Selection, Animal Behaviour
When male Stream Rubies engage in a territorial battle, it’s hard to discern if they are fighting or dancing. The damselflies hardly touch each other, moving instead in a synchronous manner as they try to oust their rival in a battle of strength. The fight goes on until one of the two accepts defeat and, well, buzzes off. The rapid movements of the damselflies are hard to freeze on camera, making this a picture-perfect action frame!
