Any wind and these are impossible to capture. C&C welcome.

We've had enough wind in Ohio this summer! <Whew!>
Lovely pic of this dragon!

I find them impossible to capture wind or no. Nicely done.

Great image. So tough to get this shot......I've failed so far.

Nice image, Jim! But as in It's all about the green A bump to the clarity really helps the wing definition. This background less enticing than the previous so maybe a small crop to the left and right?

[Shadowman]

Nicely captured.

I disagree about the cropping. Unless you want to change the aspect ratio to square, taking some off the left and right also means taking some off the top and bottom, which would cut into the wings. Also, don't box him in by cropping two close to his face.

I think the cropping (or framing) is excellent how it is.

Great job getting the whole dragonfly in focus while getting nice isolation from the background.

[Stagecoach]

Another good capture Jim.

This one's looking a bit 'crisp' so it would be worth toning down the sharpening or clarity.

Thanks all for the comments and thanks Grahame, Tony and Michael on the feedback, appreciated.

[IzzieK]
