The dragonfly is a wonderful subject for photography, the viewer will look for a well focused, clear image with natural colors and tones, initially this is very pretty, the way the light touches this dragonfly is giving it sparkle, I see a lot of noise in the background, and on the dragonfly too, it looks like you really zoomed to capture this, you have clipped its tail. I appreciate your effort.

yes I was shooting a fast hummingbird with 1/2000 and 1000 iso and while waiting at the pond this dragonfly came by. Not my best work I like the coloring and the contest here like you to have a close up of a insect. So it lost a lot. thank you for your honesty

A nicely composed image with great colors. I might like to see the eyes a little better, but I like the way the light makes the wings glitter. Best of luck in the contest.
