There seemed to be a consensus that a tighter crop would help, so here is one:
That said, this is supposed to be a landscape shot with a point of interest, not a bug macro. To me, it's more interesting the amount of detail you can make out if you really look, even from several feet away. |

| I think there's too much empty space. |

| Nicely done, though the composition is a bit off. I would suggest cropping out the blank top-right of the photo, placing the damselfly on the bottom right third-point, while keeping the tops of the grasses in the frame. |

| Unfortunately very little in your image, the black background doesn't help |

| Subject seem a bit lost in the framing. Perhaps less of the dark upper right would have given it more immediacy and shifted it out of the center which also might be beneficial. |

| a closer crop to the dragonfly might have helped here. the blue damsel gets lost in the photo with this centered crop. |

The dragonfly is too small / not detailed enough. Beyond closer crop/zoom, you should also be aware that the hard light reduces the details as the top of the dragonfly is strongly lit, while below it appears very dark due to strong contrast. For what it's worth, here is a "best in class" example with a similar dragonfly.  |

| nice, but the subject is very far from filling the frame, thus loosing focus on photo. closer cropping would vastly help |
