i like the exposure on the blacks here, spot on
The green eye is perfectly captured, the white reflection in between may be a bit distracting , otherwise a nice tac sharp image

Joe:

The subtle display of iridescence on the body and rear wing is very nice, and not easily achieved, esp in the bright sunlight.

Nice pose, angle in frame. I do agree about the white area in the water, but not a major issue for me.

Well captured.

Cheers
