Comment - are you sure this is a blue damselfly? I can't help feeling something like File:Enallagma cyathigerum 14(loz).jpg would have better EV (the bug in its mouth is also a plus). Also the lighting in this photo (particularly the droplet shadows) strongly suggests this was rotated from its original vertical orientation? If so I would recommend rotating it back to vertical because whenever I look at it I start turning my head - something not quite natural about it... --Fir0002 03:15, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a female and the one you suggested is a male. Updated the page to include both. Only the author can say about the rotations. -- Jkadavoor (talk) 09:22, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for nominating my picture. Yes this is pretty sure a female blue damselfly. It was IDed by our damselfly specialist in the german wp. But I'm not sure that this is a good picture for the taxobox because this one is a young one and the colouring isn't finished jet. So the colour will change a bit. @Fir: the pic isn't rotated. The shadows are this way because of the early morning sun. The pic was taken at ~6.30 in the morning and the sun wasn't that high. Regards Leviathan1983 (talk) 16:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
