Dragons are hard to catch, but this dragon fly stayed on top of a bamboo tomato steak in my back yard all day.

Sorry but IMHO this is not a still life, so DNMC.

Composition does not work for me.

Firstly won't really classify this as still life. I know it is tough shooting dragonflies as I also photograph them quite a lot. As for this image , the subject is too centered, the white band in the background is distracting

A still life is a work of art depicting inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, plants and natural substances like rocks) or man-made (drinking glasses, cigarettes, pipes, hotdogs and so on) in an artificial setting. I like the image but to me it doesn't meet the definition.
