caught this dance of 2 damselflies while walking along the stretch of water.. its like a reflection of the first one on itself.... i'm supposing its a courtship dance. hence the title
Wow what a capture, how many attempts did this take? The DOF really creates a feeling of isolation, like the damselfly in the foreground might never make it to his or her mate in the upper part of the frame. It seems like he is frozen in time flying against nothing and everything at once. Lovely capture.

@Paul Ricciardi: thnx paul=P ermz. i think i tried about 20-30 times. was real difficult to get the focus. almost impossible. even when i did i didnt expect there to be another damselfly back there. just so happened to be there =P i like your analogy. didnt think of that. made me think of another title. "behind frosted glass". haha. thanx.
This looks like it was a tough catch. Well done!

You have such great patience, Benjamin! And I think the damselflies are quite cooperative, to stay still long enough for you to take 20-30 shots :) Very nice!
