    Excellent focus and exposure, good detail in the dark areas, and a clear background. I like the wispy cobweb on the perch too. Very nice image.

    Hi Allen. Jonathan pretty well covered my thoughts on this strong image. I also like the eye-level shooting angle and the way the image shows how this species carries its front legs up behind the head. There are a couple tiny dust spots below the dragonfly that would be easy to clean up. This is very nicely done!

    The DOF, color and sharpness are excellent...I enjoy seeing this type of image.
