Your thoughts and comments most appreciated.

Debashis:
Nice capture of this blue sprite damsel. The orbs in the bg is real cool and the backlighting really brings out the hair on this critter. This image looks halfway between a silhouette and fully exposed subject. Wish for some fill lighting to bring out the details of the damsel.

Love the backlight Debashis. The one thing that disturbs me about this image is the angle you selected because it places the FG of the stalk so OOF. I'm second-guessing, of course, but I think had you shifted slightly to the right, this wouldn't have happened, and I don't know for sure. You would have lost a little of the backlight but might have gained more light on your subject.

Cheers,

Carol

Nice back lighting and bokeh, Debashis. Very good detail and comp as well. I am ok with the OOF bottom part of the perch because you got the DF in the right plane.
