The image is a bit small but, from what I can tell, your pof is right on the money, Ester -- not easy to do given the shallow dof and handholding. As a result of the precise focus and shallow dof, the Lacewing stands out very well from the bg. Well done.

Detail looks excellent at this scale, Ester. Excellent job getting the focal plane in line with the wings.
