    Swwweeeet Thijs!!! Great details and BG.....some may want some more space above......as I tend to like tight crops I am OK with this as presented...but perhaps a touch more up top. Very nicely done!!!

    Nice details with blurred bg. Good composition. Those water drops are an extra bonus. Beautiful.

    This is what I wanted to see! I think I would prefer a bit more space on all sides but the bug looks great. I'm trying to figure out why the damsel looks really sharp but the perch looks soft, even though they appear to be on the same focal plane. Not a big deal because the bug it what really draws your eye in this shot.

    Very nice, Thijs! I also would vote for a bit more canvas all the way around but what a lovely image! To me, the eye looks a little less sharp than everything else - you might try a little selective sharpening there.
