Female Red Eyed Damselfly (I think) with reflections of yellow St John's Wort flower. Camera Pentax Z1, Pentax F 100 F2.8 Macro, 100 ASA Fuji slide film rated at 200ASA, hand held no flash.

I particularly like the diffraction effect in the wing plus of course the reflections of the yellow flower. The damselfly itself is a boring dark brown/black normally - only the males have the red eyes (assuming i/d correctly in the field!).

Pretty. The only thing I would do differently is crop it a little tighter.
