Nice centered composition to bring out the symmetry in the flower.

Nicely done with pretty good detail and a fine blurred background.

Nicely shot and composed. The subject stands out well and the background colors complement the dragonfly's. Compositionally, I think it might work better flipped horizontally. Here, my eye stops at the subject and everything to the right is kind of wasted space; with it flipped, my eye would travel naturally across the image to the dragonfly, and the green space would serve as a pathway to the subject.

Commenting only, voting already done :-)

I like the image, but I am bothered by the fact that fully half of it is empty space, contributing little to interest me. Now, if you had a BEE hovering over there :-) Also, on my monitor it's a little washed out on the twig, in general I think it would be stronger if it were about one zone darker/richer.
