Nice capture and excellent overall presentation, Ellen. The blue tint in the bg goes great with the subject. Well composed.

Very nice. I also like the blue color throughout the image: DF, background and frame. Very well composed and presented.

Thanks for your nice comments!
@Mark, I do not know the name of this DF. There are so many species...

Lovely image, Ellen ! Love the darkening sky as a backdrop for the beautifully captured insect. A fine composition too.
