Hey Allen, nice sharp image, good looking BG, and like the diagonal line of the stem and body, but some would say one shouldn't have a staight line like the stem run directly into a corner, but I don't always agree with this line of thinking. Well done.
Hi Allen, Wonderful shot with great detail and nice BG but what really makes it for me is the great angle showing the top of the thorax and all the veins in the wings. Wish this one was mine:D Oh yeah the water spider is a nice added bonus I had to look for it when I open the image.

Super sharp, great light and colors.

Agree that that is one sharply focused DF image! Wow. I don't mind the stem coming out of the ULC but am not as thrilled with the DF being so centered. I'd rather see the eyes up towards the ROT's position on the left. Still - a minor thing - it's a beautiful image!
Jules if he did that it would cut the Water Spider in half:)I'd rather see the eyes up towards the ROT's position on the left.

Sorry but what does ROT mean?
Don, you're right...I was looking right past the spider when I said that.
Allen, ROT's means "Rule of Thirds". If you divided your photograph into thirds both horizontally and vertically, ideally, the main focal point of the image should usually be at one of the intersecting points. There's a great tutorial on this over in the educational forum located here:

Thanks Julie...I do know what rule of thirds is but must have been having a mind block on the nomenclature.
Thank you for your comments on my images.
