With your choice of depth of field you have achieved such a wonderful array of textures within the image, from the intricate spiky detail on one leg, to metallic sheen and an exquisite soft patterning on its wings - which looks great just out of focus.
It really is a shame that the leaf/grass is broken at the top, not a lot you could do about that really, although cropping the top off might work.
Your choice to manually focus stack has paid off well, and it does not look false ( as some stacked images do).
I'm guessing you chose to photograph in early morning with the dew still present, before the damsel flies get too active. This has also worked in your favour as the droplet on the eye and the wetness on the grass certainly add that extra appeal.
All in all, I have to say that I am quite captivated by this image.
