I would have liked to have seen the original resolution.Interesting capture but not a lot for a photograph. Maybe a little bit more cropping would help. If there is a border around this, I think that it is too dark, it adds too much space to the composition. A tighter crop and lighter border would help this one.

I'm always impressed when people catch dragonflies mid-capture. Wish the background weren't quite so dark so there was more context to his flight, however.

Very tremendous focus given the subject matter. Striking blue and nice lighting on the subject.

Very cool capture. A bit dark on my screen. Would be nice if there was a bit more going on in the background bokeh.

Oh wow. Perfect. Love the darness of the background. I know how hard it is to capture those guys in flight. He stands out like a miniature airplane. VERY NICE. The bokeh is lovely as well. 8

Capturing a dragonfly in flight is no easy task!! Very cool. Unfortunately I think there is a bit too much negative space and the photo is a bit dark.

Very pretty and lovely crop. I wish the Dragonfly was a little lighter for more contrast but still nicely captured.
