Little out of focus in the eyes, back of the wings where great. I've found using manual focus and "rocking" in and out to work well on dragonflies. For some reason when you're close, the turning of a focus ring will scare them but slowly moving in and out doesn't. Also shooting in Aperture priority and using the smallest aperture possible to get more DOF helps.. Nice light and background.

Looks like he's hanging on for dear life. I like his blue and brown colors. Well done!
