    Lovely! Perhaps a composition with a touch less -ve space on right might have worked better. Lovely capture none the less.

    Wow, Bryon, you did a great job on this image! There's great detail all the way throughout the insect. Your BG is gorgeous and compliments the DF really well. I, too, think you could go with a bit off the right side of the frame but not too much as you don't want the DF to end up centered.

    Excellent work on this. You really caught him at a great angle. Only thing better would be if he were turned with his face towards you instead of away.

    Very nicely done, Bryan, with good sharpness on the dragonfly plus a good comp and clean background. I like the comp as presented, but a little off the right would also work well.

    Bryan,

    I love dragon photos. This is most excellent. You have a very sharp EF 100- 400mm zoom and great technique. Mine is sharp also.

    Love the composition and colors...

    Hey Bryan,
    Very nicely done here......good job with the 100-400 as the right angle is critical! I think sacrificing a different angle with the lens you were using was a wise one....as this is nice and sharp where needed and the BG is sweet. I am generally a fan of tighter crops but as this one is so nice......I'd keep it! Very nicely done.
