While I like the picture, I just can't see how it communicates safety.

The background is too exposed to give a focus to the main subject. Also, oversaturated.

Back to comment: I have to believe that the majority of voters will have trouble relating your image to safety. I find your post processing to be a bit overdone for my personal tastes. I think the blown out background has a lot to do with the overdone post processing feel.

A bigger shoehorned photo then I think I've ever tried. Then again, there are no dragon flies where I live but it certainly gets bright here...

Why is the dragonfly perfectly safe? The blown out background really distracts from the subject IMHO.

The image is a bit noisy and distracting but the colours came out really well.
5/10

looks like a shoehorn to me, but a beautiful image!

Reaching a bit here to meet the challenge, it's a wee bit grainy too.
