It looks like the camera was hand held with too low of a shutter speed, and to make up for it, the image was sharpened. Color tone is a little bit too blue/magenta.

Nice use of humor. The body of the dragonfly being out of focus versus the rest of the scene is a little distracting.

nice 'action' shot...the texture of the dragonfly wings and ther web is interesting

Would like to have seen more of the victim! But a good "capture" all the same.

This is a very interesting photograph. An action shot that conveys the impending doom faced by the dragonfly. I would have increased the depth of field to see all of the dragonfly in focus. But I also understand that both bugs must have been moving quite quickly, making this shot difficult.

Yow! Poor damselfly. Shame you chopped off the damsel at the bottom and there's a blue tinge here and there which looks a bit weird. But I like the action.
