I think this dragonfly is a Eastern Pond Hawk, if not I would appreciate help in identifying it. I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Very nice indeed, I like the composition and the pose, the DOF and focus is excellent.
Just out of curiosity you may wish to consider making the sky a little less bright and perhaps a little more blue?
