In my view, this is one of your best images so far, Bill. I like the pose, perch, comp, and sharpness. I would suggest that you tone down those bright areas in the background as that simple tweak will take this image to the next level!

Absolutely beautiful such an elegant demoiselle, I haven't seen (or heard) of the copper before. A very high quality image, I like the perch and the angle, sharpness is excellent.
