Great shot! Unique pose too. Beautiful colors & background. Highlights on the blue areas are a little strong (IMHO), but hard not to give this one a high mark. 7

Quite nice in all ways. Also, I like the natural setting the dragonfly is among.

Very good DOF I like the fact you can see reflections in its eye.

7 - Yes nice capture. More 'fore focus'. I like the way the wings are going the same direction as the 'wheat'. Somehow if that was emphasised it might give another edge to the picture.

This is right up there with about as good a macro shot as you can get. The colors on the bug and every little detail are just amazing.

Facing the dragonfly and having the eyes in perfect focus would, for me, garner a higher score. Good luck.
