I like the comp Lucy.I think you should try a little fill flash to open up the dark tones.

Hi Lucy,
I'm with Richard in liking the composition on this shot. I think in this case the final output is perhaps slightly limited (in sharpness) compared to that which you could attain with SLR and macro lens (i.e., you've done everything right here, but your gear couldn't quite keep up with the demands!). Was this shot using a tripod? If not, it's possible that the softness of the image is a camera shake/motion blur issue (given the relatively slow shutter speed).
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

The comp is nice, but it needs some detail in the face of the dragonfly and the spot above the dragonfly is a bit distracting.
