Wonderful flight shot..great timing to get the proboscis sharp .You might want to crop the bright OOF blossom on the right side..but a very well done shot

Welcome to NPN, Thomas. Great image to start with. The moth' shadow on the flower adds 3-dimensionality to your image, good work. Post more

Hi Thomas,
welcome on NPN

Your first image is perfect in every respect IMO. Background, colors and the frozen action throws this way over the top

Thomas,

Congratulations on Pick of the Week. Not only did you get this moth perfectly sharp, but feeding at a great looking flower and a killer background.
