Hi Joseph...beautiful colours on this dragonfly and a nice out of focus background. I do wish the left wings were as sharp as the right side wings...the Ansel Adams quote in your signature is one of my most favorite quotes

Looks beautiful I like the pose and perch along with composition. The left wings are as mentioned by Andrew just a little off focus but the overall quality of the image is excellent.
I haven't a clue how the scene actually looked but it makes me wonder if a little more contrast is needed - I may be totally wrong here??

Hi Joseph, I really like the details in the body and the color for this species looks good to me (I only see them when visiting FL). Nice BG and perch. Well done.
