Yes I like the symmetry of the image, not sure if you could lift the exposure a little on the dragonfly? Images like this always make for an interesting presentation.
The species I don't know but the shape looks akin to the darters, I think you call them dashers.

Joe, Interesting juxtaposition. Oof dragonfly in the back works well. could remove some distracting branches, especially LHS to make the image a little cleaner. Agree with Jonathan regarding lightening up the foreground dragonfly.

Like what you have done here. Wish all those sticks weren't there in the background not much you can do about that.
