Hi Allen. It looks like you nailed this one! Excellent pose, comp, sharpness, and background. Also, the fill flash looks very natural. Very well done! :cheers:

I love the complimentary colours and the focus is spot on along with DOF. A minor point but I think presentation would have been even better in 3:2 format. I may also see what another round of fine sharpening would do, I don't think the image is soft, quite the contrary, but I think a little ore may lift the image a tiny bit.

Very good capture Allen and good use of th flash. I'd place the dragonfly a bit more to the left, creatingequal distance to the frame on the left and right. Using Jonathans frame ratio will probably get you there (provided you have room on the right)

Very nice Allen! I like your perspective and BG......don't mind the wings falling off either.....so works for me all around!
