Great whiz-bang color combo! I like how the flower centers pick up the wing colors. My only nit is The OOF fuzz on the BF's back.

A superb view at this gorgeous BF, Ian, and lots of nice supporting color throughout the image.

Beautiful colors in this gorgeous insect, Ian. I wonder if brightening the image just a little would be an improvement. Good work!
