Thanks, Paul, and to everyone else who took a look.

I did use Photoshop CS6 for the focus stacking - I finally learned about the "Load Files Into Photoshop Layers" command in Bridge which makes stacking a larger group of files much easier!

Excellent work. in focus stacking, do you use the PhotoShop align and blend 
tools? Superb.

I visited a prime dragonfly location yesterday, but the cool temps, gusty winds 
and overcast skies did not make for a high volume shoot. I got 3 nice shots 
which are here:

The last shot on the post - the Bluet Damselfly - is a departure for me because 
it is a focus stacked  composition of 16 separate shots. This was compiled in 
Photoshop. The focus stacking tool there had seemed to be useless to me because 
it was such a  PITA to manually stack images as layers in a single file -    
but I finally stumbled on a webpage that explains how to use bridge to open 
multiple files and then make them just layers of one file in Photoshop - ah, 
life is good. I can see doing more focus stacking in the future - it worked 
pretty well in the field yesterday.

C&C appreciated.
