Stonking image of the dragonfly, but too high up the frame as others have already noted. Should be easy enough to trim a bit off the bottom and add a little more canvas at the top though.
Nits covered Rob.I know you've angled the camera to get a more detailed view of the head and side of the body but obviously that has thrown the far wing tips oof and I personally find that a little distracting.Can't have it all ways though.
Very nice image but not sure about the angle and comp.. Both just don't sit right for me on this occasion which is a shame as other aspects are very appealing. Good use of the longer lens.
For me the composition works well, I love portrait anyway but here you have pushed it just that bit more which for me looks great,and gives the image 'space',lovely detail,BG and colours,beautiful image

a nice detailed shot well exposed with a stonking background
There is too much stick in the frame and its not the most attractive stick on the planet.
Detail etc on the subject spot on but a bit tight at the top for me and all the space at the bottom doesn't add to the image much.
