Nice shot. My dragonfly always lands on a rock, so I could never get a pic like this.

NIce detail on the dragonfly. MOving to one of the thirds would have give a more obvious negative space, and would have hinted at the world of the dragonfly in addition to the insect itself.

Isnt this an interesting scene? But is it just me, or does it seem a little wonky? It's just with with the great straight lines of the posts, it struck me as wonky. It might not be lol, I've got weird eyesight.

I think that, if it was possible, it would been great if we could get more of those contrasting stairs. By sticking the stairs on half of the image then the contracting posts on the other, I think it would have looked brilliant! But that's just me...

while there is desolation here, the verdancy off sets it a bit too much

Quite an interesting object to photograph. Meets the challenge well. Not fond of the yellowy/red color the zebra has going on or the overexposed snout - but interesting subject matter nonetheless.

I wonder what this would look like with the sky cropped out.

I like the inclusion of the overgrown weeds and the dried branches in the tree in your composition.
