Very interesting stem and the dragonfly posed nicely for you so you could get everything within your dof. Also, nice light and background. Very well done!
A fine shot Jo - well focused and composed. I have looked at the image a few times hence the later reply. I applied a luminosity mask and lifted the darker elements, I think it makes quite a difference to the image, much more detail in the body and head is rendered.

Like the curve in the stem- wish they were all like that !
Joseph Przybyla thanked for this post
