My what big eyes you have.
I like the way the background compliments the damselfy and the single blade of grass.

Very cute image, Ingrid. I love the perspective and the soft bg from which the blue eyes stand out so well. I also like the cute pose. Normally, I would prefer the grass not bisecting the subject's face, but I think it helps in this case that the eyes are on both sides of the grass stalk. :toast:

Very good work!! Playing the devil's advocate, have you considered a crop from the right to about a 4:5? It is an alternative, but I like this also as is! :toast:

Only us eyes here! Definitely a fun view where the close coordination of colors helps to emphasize the eyes. Well done.
