Hi Paul,

Nice light and a different pose/viewpoint plus the important bits are sharp...

Nice one.

Now that's nice, Paul - beautifully balanced fill flash and excellent dof.

Cheers

Super shot IMO. Nice to see a different (and striking) viewpoint. The wing tip is a bit close to the top of the frame, but it will just be a very simple task to clone in some additional BG to top it up.

Hi Paul

Often these lower viewpoints don't work, but this one does as it is sharp in all the right places plus a nice flower and BG. Minor nit wing tip a littl close to top of frame!

Hi Paul

Can't do anything but agree with previous comments. Great shot.

I also love your humming bird hawk moth image. GIves me inspiration. Now where's that macro lense.

Regards

David
