But to get that extra sharpness you need a smaller aperture, F2.8 will not do the job because the DOF is too small and then it is very hard, especially with a damselfly, to get the eyes sharp.

I wonder how it would look if they were slightly desaturated?

However it appears just a wee bit "flat" as though it needs a little boost in the contrast and the reds. What do you think?
