 Got my sister to help me with the crop. This was kind of funny because she came along while I was doing it myself, she made a contrary suggestion and we tweaked it until she ended up suggesting what I had originally planned.

This is attempting to take the suggestions of others to make this good. At full resolution it looks really good on my computer screen. Thanks to all who commented on the original.

I am guessing I should hit this with a bit of USM, but I'm not really sure how to go about it. Does anyone have any suggestions of the settings they would use? I will experiment with them and see how it affects the results and learn from it. Thanks.

great coloring and composition on this one. You mentioned USM and maybe it does seem a little soft. Still, the detail is amazing and i really like the arching leaf. Green could use a touch more saturation IMO.

For pics I post on the web I usually use about 90-110% with a .3-.6 radius setting. FWIW.

I'e seen dragonflies with that kind of wing before, with the colouring near the base, and the tail that shape (very much like a blue one here in Japan) - but as for the overall colour scheme of it, nope. Red ones, yes, not pinkish red ones.

I have never seen a dragonfly that color. It's beautiful! A little adjustment on the curves and some clarifying and this would be perfect. Course I don't know much about editing but that's what I would do lol.

I don't care for the thick border, but I sure like the dragonfly!
I'm not expert at photoshop, but if you want to send me (Beetle 63@gmail.com) the original, I'll see what I can do with it and if it looks any good, I'll tell you the steps I took.
