    Another sweet image, Ken! Love the BG on this one. Did you need to lighten it in pp at all? I love the angle of the df here but his face is a bit dark. You might try lightening it just a tiny bit to bring back a little more detail. Also, down by the two lower wings there's a circle of bokeh that barely shows but could be a potential distraction - you might smooth that out since it's the only one.

    Again, did I say how much I love that BG??? Wow! It really sets of that dragonfly!

    What was the BG here? It is spectacular. I might back down the saturation on the green stem, and I agree with Jules suggestions. Nice macro lens ;)

    The BG is mostly algae with a few gaps showing open water reflecting a blue sky. It's pretty cool that your basic pond scum can look so good when OOF. :)

    Glorious colors! Love that BG. Wish the insect were just a tad brighter so it competed better with the bright green stem. Wonderful!
