Little damselflies are common in the area where I live, as there are good natural habitats for them — small ponds, a river and a water canal. When I was taking photos of this damselfly it was a rather cold morning and the low temperature kept it still. There was no wind either, so I was working fast in case it started up. The background colour gave me a nicely balanced image.
