I’m from the Philippines and this is my first post here. I’m just new to bird photography, been doing it for just over a year. Glad to have encountered this forum. I will definitely learn a lot here.:D

Great job capturing such a good pose, and the dragonfly is a huge bonus! The flower stalk color is very pretty against the green bg. If you clone, I would get rid of the oof green vegetation in the left corner. There is a halo visible around some of the flower stalks and the birds tail. A lovely post, and I'll look forward to seeing more of your images.
Way cool with the dragonfly. I do not mind the oof green in the LLC but the greens are way oversaturated...
Also, the bird's head is turned slightly away from you.
later and love,

Here is a try at applying what were suggested above. I tried to do it with the RAW file but could not locate it in my archive. I’m still learning Photoshop and this is my best effort so far.
