    Windy day grasses blowing about, excuses excuses!
    I am not really happy with this, I have done some tidying up but the worst thing is the messiest bits are where I didn't tidy! Maybe I should have blended the ghostly area around the female head and male tail, but to me it looks manipulated anyway. I look forward to your comments.

    Hi Jon,
    I like the details on the dragonflies and the color. Two striking insects. I see what you mean about the bright spot in the BG - it is noticeable. Both sides of the perch look hazy - is that where you did the PS work? Still a nice image overall.

    Interesting frame. Looks very sharp for such a windy day. I would crop a little off the left. The perch must be angles away for it to look out of focus like that.

    Thanks for the feedback Allen, John, the frustrating thing was I did not patch/heal up the fuzzy ends of the grass.
