This is a wonderful close-up shot of dragonfly!. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful picture of this male Common Darter alighted on a dried blade shaped leaf. The sunshine catching the sparkle in it's eye, the shine on it's orange abdomen & the gleam on his gossamer wings. The blurred greens making a beautiful contrasting backdrop. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Another beautifully composed image Fred - the colors of the dragonfly stand out nicely against the background. Well focused with good handling of light and shadow.
