Back on Dad's Ranch. This dragonfly was patient with me and offered many poses, some humorous others with definate attitude. Hope you like this one.

Nice capture, but there's some stiff competition in this challenge. Your DOF, while pretty good, doesn't really stand out when compared to some of the other entries. More particularly on the wire, end of tail, head and legs of fly. I like the blurred background and overall composition, but the lighting is a little harsh causing some hot spots on the wire and fly. Still, a very nice shot. 6
I like the angle of the wings and the angle of the barbed wire - both seems to have attitude as your title implies. It is a nice composition. I like the narrow deapth of focus. I wish the dragon fly and the wire were sharper.
