I like this a lot.The dew and bg and the subject.The position of the dried grasses is sort of distracting but the shapes and textures are hard not to like

Lovely arrangement of stems, leaves and dragon - the dew adds a lot, fine stacked detail.

I think the whispy grasses add to this! Great composition.

Good composition with the brown orange colors. And for the grass ads to it. Nice!
