Lovely flight frame. The green and blue go great together. The background is pretty neat. The lines add a nice element here.

This is even better than the previous two. Love the colors and the background. The darker dragonfly contrasts well against the lighter background. The lines in the background add drama. Incredible that the the dragonfly is sharp from head to tail.

Being square on the sensor has worked nicely Jon and the backdrop adds nice separation. Would blow some colour in on that HL streak, a bit unfortunate as it goes through the tail, but an easy fix.
