Very similar to some images of my own, but not ones that I like. I don't think that dragonflies look very good with their wings in that position. Wait for it to take off and land in that spot again with its wings out and you'll get a much better image. This species has very striking thorax coloration, but it's covered up by the wings. It's got that "droopy" look.
What a cool shot! Great focus and composition. I do find the reflections in the eyes to be a little distracting and (I can't believe I am saying this) the color almost seems too intense. Not sure if a polarizing filter or a screen would help reduce the glare...That thing is unreal!
my favorite of the dragonflies and (at least where I live) the most cooperative for portraits..I love the leaf shape and the red border on the leaf is nice compositionally with the insect
