This perspective is absolutely great!! The combination of all the colours, including the background, is beautiful. I would have liked to have a little more space in the bottom and maybe a little less on top though. Seeing just a bit more of the perch and the legs would add to the image's strength. The focus is on the front of the head, which leaves the eyes just a little bit too much OOF for my taste. Catching the eyes in perfect focus would have been better I think.

Despite the critique, I think this is a veryspecial and beautiful image. The directness works very well!

very fine shot! great angle and perspective; would also go for a tiny bit more dof on the eyes; still, very eye-catching!

Excellent shot, very graphical. A crop solve the issue of the empty space at the top.

Wow -- this is terrific. Gorgeous color, I like the symmetry from the head on view.

What a wonderful perspective. A little more DOF would have helped. It is hard to tell if the eyes are really sharp at this size. I looks like they are. I would have positioned the dragonfly a little higher in the frame but, you take what you can get with these guys. Very nice work.
Thanks for posting,
