    Very clean image I really like the colours and I also like the less than obvious crop I think it works well. Did you mask and sharpen/noise reduce?? The hairs on the head and thorax seem a little indistict as does the perimeter of the mouth parts I was wondering if perhaps the two processes overlapped a little bit??

    Very nice composition and lovely contrast of colors between the damselfly and the bkgd. The entire image appears to have a gentle softness. Maybe Jonathan's suggestion of a processing overlap is the cause.
