This is a VERY difficult shot to take! I have personally TRIED to take this same shot. Dragon-flies don't usually sit still, especially in front of your camera in mid-flight! I give this picture a perfect score.

Beautiful shot ! A couple years ago I took some shots of lightning. It's tricky. Your picture has been altered, and I'm not a fan of altering more than white balance adjustment or exposure adjustment. The way a shot is taken, is more or less the way it should stay, preferably not even cropping. Maybe you could have enclosed the original in addition to the processed end result. I'm a bit of a purist with some things-"A purist is one who desires that an item remain true to its essence..." answers.com
Strengths: timing, composition
Weakness: processed look
