Dragonfly posing, before/afters

[sftempest66]

Hey guys, I took this shot a while ago with my 55-200mm and I thought it turned out alright, but I ended up spending a little while editing it and I ended up with this,

Here is the original image,

C&C welcome!

I like the crop of the first and I can see where your going with the editing on the dragon - but I much prefer the colours of the second shot - softer greens whilst in the first the colour is washed out in the background
A good shot definatly

Thank you, yea I could definitely see where the softer greens would help, maybe i'll see what that looks like, thanks!

I would keep the colour of the first image and maybe pull some black back... Looks lovely though
