MY EDIT:
wow !!! after editing .... focus on dragon fly is now showing perfect. And every details of main object of photo looks great. How you did it ? Photoshop or other special software you used ? And thank you for your tips :)
Photoshop...
Crop, tones, brightness, contrast, curves, slight sharpness on subject, slight desaturate (sponge tool) on the background.
