Beautiful specimen, that's a great spot for dragonflies.

Hi

There is a lot to like and I do like about this shot - the backdrop, the subject, the perch - but what lets it down a little for me is the perch via the corner - my eye is just lead straight there and then take in the frame. So yep a lovely image - but I am not loving the composition choice


All the best
Matthew
