I like the POV and budding flower perch here better Bill.
A bit grainy but not a deal breaker, well done!

I'm enjoying the nice detail on the head and body. I wasn't there so I don't know, but it seems a bit yellow overall.

Love the comp and perspective, Bill. Very attractive subject and overall frame. The three flowers are very pretty, and the position and pose of the DF is outstanding as is the bg. Another top notch DF image.

Hi Bill,
I like this image a lot. Great subject and background go well together. You just got enough of the dragonfly in focus to capture a winner ................Jim

Terrific details in the df and flower set against a perfectly complementary background. Well done, Bill.

Fantastic image Bill. Like it all the way ! I see some fine noise in the BG - perhaps due to sharpening..?!
