Although, its wings are battered, this warrior appears well protected. The metallic shine of its body is impressive. I like that you did not tried to hid we the damage of the fragile wings. Your photo is perfectly focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the sharpness of detail and the realism of light and color. Even the vines within the transparent wings are sharp. The insect stands well out from the shallow background. Your photo is well composed. The Dragonfly is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Lee Ann,
A beautiful picture of this Pond Warrior perched on the reeds in the sunshine it's gossamer wings outspread the light reflected on them & showing off the damage to their tips as the knocks of life happened. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Good shot!
This shows complete detail of a dragonfly up close.
It's a good lesson in nature at its best. I like the blur of the greenery of the background.
Nice work.

Cool title. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this dragonfly is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

A beautiful dragonfly even if his wings have seen better days. I like this perspective that enables you to show the entire insect as well as his wings in such sharp detail. Good luck in the contest.

Hey there LeeAnn!
What a great photo you have captured of this dragonfly. The textures sow through really well. The focus is spot on and the blurry background is nice and allows great contrast. This is an excellent image for the contest, good luck!

Fantastic photograph of this dragonfly. I like the colors of the wings. The background color brings out the colors of the dragonfly. Focus and lighting are good. Sharp detail. All colors and tones are natural. Well done. Good luck in the photo contest.
