Red Percher by *riviera2008 looks like an armored warrior, ready for battle. The beautiful colors and the amazing detail of the wings makes this a particularly great stock photo.

First off, let me say that I really enjoy this picture. The lighting is great, the colors are amazing, and you captured it all wonderfully.

One thing that strikes me about this picture is the fuzziness around the flower. This might be because the focus is centered on the dragonfly body & wings, and a little bit of the flower. The head of the dragonfly also strikes me as slightly out of focus.
Other than that small detail, this picture is absolutely amazing. I really do love the way the colours flow together & all.
Wonderful work, and congratulations on the DD. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
