Very interesting stem and the dragonfly posed nicely for you so you could get everything within your dof. Also, nice light and background. Very well done!

A fine shot Jo - well focused and composed. I have looked at the image a few times hence the later reply. I applied a luminosity mask and lifted the darker elements, I think it makes quite a difference to the image, much more detail in the body and head is rendered.

Hi Joe,
I really like the curve of the perch away from the dragonfly and the details in the wings.
