Nice shot indeed and you have it entirely.
a small question: was there a possibility for you to crouch a bit and be at the level of the dragonfly? you took this photo from above the dragonfly. :)

That's a pitty but such dragonflies are very shy and you were lucky to get such a shot by chance.

Not bad shot as a first one using macro lens Greg Greg78340 . However, try to have your subject in the middle of the frame, unless you are trying or having different composition in mind and you want to achieve that.
