A colorful dragonfly and I like the green, patterned eyes! Nice light and background. Sharpness seems very good - although the face seems a bit softer than the abdomen - and being picky here - the dragonfly is facing slightly away from us. A move of the camera just a few inches to your left may have given you a better side-on view (and a better view of the face). I might be tempted to crop about half of the empty space on the left of the frame - subjective. :S3:

Exposure focus and colours look good, I know it isn't always possible but had you been able to move round a bit to the left you would have had a more pleasing angle to work with.
