Thats a cool looking insect indeed ! Focussed where it matters good positioningand a nice BG.

Anit I like the image, I think the dragonfly left wing is sharp the body a little less so (plane of focus/shutter speed) I would suggest 1/60 sec at 420mm handheld is never going to give pin sharp results.
I would suggest modifying the background to make it less intrusive, I have made a version for you to consider - it may of course not be to your tast that is fine but I think a less intensely saturated background would help. I desaturated and modified the Hue slightly.

Lovely dragonfly. I like Jonathan's suggestion about the BG. Also good advice on shooting. (Don't know what color the dragonfly should be.) If whites could be reduced on the perch it would also add a bit.
