Glowing Dragonfly

I tweeked the dragonfly from my Weekly Challenge entry this week, then used the flood filter a couple times and an additional fractilius filter. Any suggestions for improving the image? Is there enough sense of depth?

Very interesting. I think the perception of depth would be limited by how much you can tweak the reflection underneath. And I wonder what this would look like without it. Really cool image.

Looking at this some more. I think a little bit of a water effect underneath would be neat to see, and would probably increase the depth. I still like it the way it is, though.

I think the filter is working really well with this image Rob.

Very cool. The neon reflection really adds to the effect.

This is really electric! Reflection adds a lot to this photo and I think it's really dynamic

Rob,
Fun, electric image... love the colors!. I might like to see a bit of the top and some of the right cropped out to center the dragonfly more. Great colors :toast:
