I've noticed a few dragonflys here lately, so I thought I throw one in as well. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

I like it! Focus on the face, good detail in the wings, composition, colors!
If it were mine, I might try to repair the blemishs on the flower.

Hi Bill, Nicely handled from an experienced dragonfly shooter:D Nice crop with good positioning within the frame. Subject is sharp along with even lighting. IMO the flower repair is optional...
The only thing I might do is tone down the bright area on the right...nice one!!

Hi Bill,

Another vote to tone down the bright area on the right. Just find my eye is draw away from the head by this a little. Fantastic image, details and colours. For me the blemish on the flower is what was there at the time and I'd leave it.

regards.
Stu.

Hi Bill - sharp as a tack - love those eyes - colours are good - like the flower - repair optional.
Good one!!!

Hi Bill ---I love to shoot these guys and I think this one is great, nice detail in the color and very good on the focus.
