I have been absent for a while and missed viewing these wonderful darters you post, Jonathan. Beautiful glow on the back & top of the darter and nice sharp details. I like the look of the wings wrapped forward and yet clearly seeing the legs. I would consider cropping just a bit down from the top, or adding some on the bottom if you have more of the flower stem. Very nice blurred bkgd picking up a hint of the orange of the darter.

Oh boy this is very nice!! Only wish you had pointed your lens down a bit more, but all else looks great.

Extremely well done. Great detail, sharpness, texture without appearing over sharpened. I only wish you had more stem below the seed head.

Thank you very much everyone for your comments, there is a some more stem beneath the flower head I will have a look see.

Hi Jon. Another awesome dragonfly image! Excellent overall sharpness on the subject and perch and set against a very attractive background. Nice use of the fill flash too.
