He was the only red one among hundreds of blue and green dragonflies.

I like the contrast between the crisp detail on the wings, and that atmospheric and juicy bokeh! I'd be tempted to lose that tiny twig bottom right though...

Actually, I went into the image and added a bit moore of that twig as it tends to counter-balance the rest of the branch. The bokeh is rather sweet...sometimes, ya know, you just get it!

In that case, I think you may need more twig - not quite enough to pull the eye over, just enough to be an irritation...
