Wings of lace.
This is my first venture into the art of manual focus, tips and advice are most welcome as this is how I mean to continue.
  Cheers, John.

It looks like the dragonfly is slightly out of focus. I assume this is a macro shot that is not cropped. If it is, try focusing not by turning the ring but by setting the ring and then moving back and forward with your body to get focus.

JJthethird,
Image would be even stronger without second bloom on right and little bit in corner.
