The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

This particular damselfly is about an inch and a quarter in total length. I was able to get lined up fairly well and was able to get both ends ogf this insect in sharp focus.

This is nice Jim. Sharpness looks good. The soft, almost pastel colors are great. Nice angle to the grass perch with a nicer angle of the damselfly. The veins are clean, the eye is clear, the BG is perfect. No nits here.
Jim, this looks real good. I find them hard to photograph in that they are so small and trying to line them up so they are sharp throughout isn’t all that easy, at least for me. You found this one in a very good location so that the BG is nice and smooth. So many times when I have found them they have a distracting BG, and to try to change my position gets me where I can’t get the whole Damselfly in focus. Great job on this one. I was to change anything to this image, it might be to try and darken down the light area near the right edge. It seems to be pulling my eye out of the image. Just a thought. I would be thrilled with this image.
This is excellent, Jim. You did a great job getting parallel with this critter and it really paid off in the wonderful detail in the hairs on it and the detail in the perch. I do see a few dust bunnies you could clean up and I think I agree with @Shirley_Freeman about the white blob on the right.
Jim, You certainly have these guys trained well back there! This is perfect. Send some HERE to train ours. Tiny nit - there are 4 small dark spots on the largest image - one above the middle of the 'fly, 2 in the lower left, and one in the lower right.
Really fine image, as always
