Interesting idea, because normally you wouldn't see the tail coming towards you run out of depth. It looks like some mid-day harsh light coming down on this one? Have you tried a B&W version, sometimes the high contrast works well there. Just a thought. You have the little guy in such a great pose. Sharpness on the central head is good. Maybe a little further crop. This picture is better than the indicated score and a good find on wildlife, those little guys can be such a dasher.

an exciting encounter, a not so exciting picture, I'm not an expert in PP but I'm sure there are people around that could help you enhance that picture.

The shallowness of the DOF does isolate this fellow however it may be a bit too shallow. The critter's tail being out of focus is a bit distracting.

Also, the lighting is very harsh and the subject, being in the middle, makes the image quite static. Cropping the OOF part on the right would probably help with that.

not shallow.. shallow means LOTS of blur that highlights the subject very clearly
