Nice image of a female blue dasher, if it were mine, I’d crop the open space from the left.

Lovely image - very complimentary colours and sharp 'fly.
To move it off-center, I might consider cloning out that lower left light leaf and then cropping tighter on the left.
If you have the canvas, I'd add more on the right, too.
Fine image!

Hi

A fine image that show good technique - like the others have mentioned the composition is a little central and lacking direction; my suggestion at shooting time would be to try verticals as well, sometimes more compositional option open up then

All the best
Matthew

Nice light, detail, and bg; I'd also consider cropping from the left and top, maybe add a little canvas to the right if you have it, but that's all a matter of personal taste.

Good light,
Craig
