Personally, I prefer the first. The darkness in the background blends too much with the wings and obscures things.
Regarding Saker's comment about getting close to damselfies- it can be done if you move slowly. If you find an area that they enjoy, you can also sorta move in, at which point they'll all fly away. Then get in a position that's comfortable and wait for them to return. So long as you keep your movements slow and to a minimum, they'll come back.

Like I said about another one of these flies, I can never get one - they take off the moment I get within 5 feet of them Lovely job on this guy .. I like the big catch light in it's eye and how you captured the hair so crisply on it's legs.

I like this one even better than the last one! Gorgeous iridescence on the body.
