Steampunk Dragonfly

Entry for the WeeklyCGChallegne n° 107 - Theme Insects

This is the first image with some more elaborate post processing for me, i learned quite a lot from this one.

As usual, all comments and constructive criticism are very welcome, i'm interested to hear how it could be improved. Thank you all for passing by!!!

Raw render - take 1... but i was not 100% happy as the dragonfly looked too merged with the background and did not stand out enough

Render, take 2 with a strong light under the dragonfly. I guess there's a way to make light bypass a plane but i have no idea how so i just removed the background as i have it already from the previous render
