Austroagrion watsoni

Reason: Clear, and good background separation (but it still clear that they are big blades of grass). I did a white balance fix after a comment by fir ages ago. There was a lot to juggle taking these damselfly photos. I had to set two flashes manually.

Weak support just to get it started. Nice picture per nom, but given that you've gone to the trouble of IDing down to species it would be nicer if this had an article for the species (or genus...) rather than just illustrating the family. However, on the image itself, it strikes me as perhaps a bit oversharpened, and there's some funny noise localised around the front of the head, and bit more down the very back of the abdomen - perhaps a result of some sloppy masking during sharpening/NR? Could probably be relatively easily fixed in a re-edit. --jjron (talk) 11:19, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Did a NR on those spots and uploaded over the top. There was one bit on the wing on closer examination too. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:54, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - One other dopey comment. The caption is a bit confusing - is it taken at Tea Tree, or on a tea tree? I'm guessing the former, but if so the name of the place isn't helping with clarity. :-) --jjron (talk) 07:55, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - In, the place Tea Tree is named after the tree (Leptospermum). Noodle snacks (talk) 08:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support as above. Even then, IMO this image would suit the taxobox more than the current image. --Muhammad(talk) 12:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support and I agree with Muhammad about the taxobox. Matt Deres (talk) 00:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
