I think you want the subject to be more prominent within the photo. If you can zoom in so those green reeds take up the majority of the photo and the dragonflies are the focus. This picture would really benefit from being vertical as well. You have a lot of dead space that doesn't add anything.

I had a go at cropping it, to show you what I mean.

Haha wow, thanks. I just tried to get my phone as close as possible without scaring them! You made it quite a bit better tho!

Zooming in is your friend when taking pictures of wildlife!

Keep taking pictures of things you find interesting. You'll get better as you try new things. You don't need a fancy camera to take good photos.
