    Gorgeous background, nice contrasting color in the stem, diagonal is excellent.

    Super shot excellent focus and DOF, I like the composition but would also consider making the dragonfly just a little smaller in the frame.

    Ditto all the positives above. Love the colors. Not sure if it would be possible to selectively sharpen the head a bit as it is behind the wing..... Why not point the lens down and include all of the leaf on the bottom frame edge? SH with a perfect EXP. BKGR killer sweet.

    Another beauty, Allen! Nice light with good detail in the whites - as well as blacks. Good overall sharpness and a clean background and the diagonal comp is a plus. If you had a version showing the rest of the leaf, I think that would also make a very strong presentation. Very nicely done!
