| This is quite nice, great focus on the closest wing. Unfortunately the eyes are not in focus. So difficult to get really good macros! |

| Beautiful shot, I love the muted colors and the focus, but as far as framing and composition goes, I am sure you may get a few comments about the tips of the wings being cut off. |

| Nice, but I would have liked it way better if the head of the fly were in focus, IMHO you should have used a smaller aperture but other than that, pretty nice. |

| Amazing clarity here in the wings, as they look like lace, or smoky glass patterns, so well done..... |

| Beautiful detail in the right wings, not so much in the left wings, wish they were not cut off. |

| Nice details in the wings on the right and the mid body. Focus seems lost one the rest though |

| Great macro.I don't know if I would have cropped the tail out but I don't think it hurts this photograph. |

| The details in the wings make for this beauty. Only problem is, my eyes keep getting drawn to the body and this seems OOF. 7 nonetheless. |

| I'm a fan of insect pics, and I sometimes get annoyed at people criticising shallow DOF on macros taken in the natural setting as I know how hard it can be. However, I do think this could have been improved by ensuring the focus extended to the head. Otherwise with the existing picture crop it down to just a detailed study of the wings because you have captured these really well... |

| Wow, wonderful details here, so delicate. It just seems too cropped or tight with the wing tips and tail cut off but its a very good picture, National Geographic quality. |

| Dang! When this image opened, I was startled by the clarity and detail. I physically pulled back in order to take it all in. It's definitely the best macro of dragonfly wings I have ever seen. Excellent use of BOKEH and nice composition. Straight into my favorites. |

| Despite the colours seeming a bit flat this is a good macro. I think maybe a slightly wider DoF to get the front arms in focus would improve it. |

WOW stunning details in the right wing, looks like it's made of glass.
but as I've said in sooo many comments.. centered images tend to be dull, so a tighter crop maby.. loose a part of the left wing ??
and the head and eyes aren't in focus.. you get a minus for that.. I find it critical in bug macro.
you still get a 6 though :) |
