Nice capture, but I would have preferred better focus

how are these unrelated? Don't you always see a dragonfly perched like this? technically, the background is nicely OOF. however, the insect and weed are also slightly OOF. the colors are muted. i would have liked to see more contrast and sharpness. also, remember the rule of thirds, and place that dragonfly in a location other than smack dab in the middle (lends to a boring composition). not trying to be harsh, just helpful.

No relationship to the challenge.

Dragonfly is out of focus. Eye is drawn to white highlight, not subject.

To me this does not meet the challenge "Unrelatedness". To me this challenge suggests that you should show a picture of two elements that are not commonly seen together, and I don't feel that to be the case here.

I'm not sure where the "unrelated" part is - looks like a dragonfly in its natural and expected environment. The composition could be more exciting and some post processing would help with the "pop".
The background is nicely blurred, but I find the bright part at the top rather distracting. Nice focus on the dragonfly.

Focus is a bit off, colours are nice though.

Nice shot of the dragonfly, but how are they unrelated?

Um....these aren't really unrelated. Neat capture. But do wish it were a bit clearer.
