I've many close-up shots of this couple but I choose this one that includes a larger portion of the leaf in it. See if it works for you?

Looks great and always nice to see different compositions for the famous damsel wheel. For me a little less of the leaf would work better.

It definitely works for me KK, though perhaps a bit more space on the left would be good. A lovely image!

Lovely image of a mating pair of bluets. The leaf looks good along the length of the vertical side, but you could crop so there is less leaf width.

Excellent image!! Great detail and color. I too would like a little less leaf for web presentation, although a large print would look great as presented.
