Cool capture, the dragonfly makes this one for me. I would crop a tad off the right, tone down the highlights and sharpen the bird a bit less.

Nice catch for both of you. Your repost does look much better, and knowing this species, the colours may be ever so slightly oversaturated.

The repost does look better. The bird's plumage looks much better but I would keep the prey's original sharpness, and you could tone down the upper mandible even more. Good catch by both of you:).

The repost has improved the image. Nice detail, and great food item adds alot. Agree with Daniel on the upper mandible tone down. Nice work.

Excellent detail look! I would prefer sharpening between the two posts. But still very cool!
