    Well done with very nice detail, and a well named dragonfly.

    I could see some being removed from the left, maybe halfway to the wing. You could also touch out the tiny darker area along the right border -- it keeps drawing my eye.

    Look forward to seeing more!

    The dragonfly is well focused, did you apply noise reduction selectively? The area immediately above the head seems to have a slightly different texture?? I agree the background is not ideal but these critters don't always land where you want them to.

    Love the colours, I would be tempted to reduce the crop I think that is suffering but it looks good!
