33 Stunning Winning Photos From The Close-Up Photographer
#18 Butterflies & Dragonflies, 3rd Place – “Common Winter Damselfly” by Kai Rösler
‘This picture was taken in July, in a small nature reserve close to the town of Fribourg, Switzerland. The damselfly was sitting on a blade of grass, but flew away when I slowly approached, eventually placing itself on the tip of these grass spikelets. I managed to take some shots, trying to align my camera with the body of the damselfly. The constant moving of the grass caused by the wind and the insect’s movements made things tricky, but after a few seconds, despite the damselfly flying off, I had my shot.’
