Nice close-up, fairly sharp throughout. Exposure is spot on. I find the head of the critter quite confusing, though. Maybe I can't orient myself to the image because his head has an odd square reflection and the focus on the most critical part of the image, his head, is very soft.

Nice big frame filling composition presented here of a very beautiful dragonfly. Your shot is very sharp and very well exposed providing us with lots of great detail and natural looking colours. Very good photo, well done!

Wow that is some great green! Congrats on the win
Strong focus and clarity.
Great color tones.
The lighting is very nice, creating depth and popping that color.

Wow! What amazing details in this dragon fly! Your cropping highlights the green on the body as well as the green background. And such pretty greens too! Excellent entry for the contest! Good luck :) Joan

    Thank you so very much! Thanks also for the ID. I had no idea what kind it was. I am going to have to get a book on them as I find them interesting!

Amazing shot of nature. You have timed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. You must have won hands down!
