“This is the first macro shot that I was really happy with,” photographer Mattias Hammar of Gothenburg, Sweden, confides. “A blue damselfly defending the forest. The photo was taken beside a forest path close to a lake. When I passed, I saw 20 to 30 damsels buzzing in an area covered in tall green grass. I spent an hour failing to get a nice shot of these evasive models before this moment happened. I started to close in on this fellow who didn’t back down. While I was shooting, a light gust of wind brought a small straw in front of him. He reacted by using his legs to transfer it from right to left. I got a series of about 10 images. I was lucky to get the best focus and coolest pose in the same shot.”
