Oh my goodness. I can't imagine walking peacefully along a path and then finding this "beast". How absolutely beautiful he is and you caught him with your lens! He is sharp and easy for us to see with a nicely chosen dof you softened the background and serendipitous that the background is colour co-ordinated. I like your crop and compositional style and the diagonal slant on which this prince sits! I wonder where this was taken...in Costa Rica perhaps? Nice one.
I like the fragility seen here on this dragonfly. Nicely placed off center we also see his environment in soft bokeh. Natural, in good focus on the eyes (where it really matters) . Exposure is well rendered , contrast is fine and the whole image has good initial visual impact.
