Very nice shot Phil plenty of detail and a smashing background :smile:

Tis nice but I'm not too fond of the OOF forewing... not sure if stopping down any more would have brought it into acceptable focus?

I like this Phil but am with Mr. Hurst over the near forewing - other than that it's a pretty shot.

I would agree that the OOF wing is a little dominant, just a shame that it didn't close its wings while it was feeding. Also, the purple flowers seem to have posterized somewhat but that may be due to compression. Otherwise a colourful image with a nice background.

I like everything apart from the OOF wing as everyone else has mentioned. I like the colours of the flower and the nice background.

Like others Phil, I am not keen on the blurred forwing, sometimes it works, here I dont think it adds to the image, the rest and flower are good

the colours and composition are wonderful here, agree with above about the wing though
