Lovely shot Tom superb detail and colour

I would crop it a bit tighter and lose the flower on the right hand side if it was mine

Others however may disagree

This fellow is getting on a bit, he's lost most of his scales and his wings are getting ragged, with the loss of the scales comes the loss of the blue colour. The detail is great to see that sort of thing, I don't think I would crop it unless going portrait, but might have added a touch to the left, but over all a very pleasing image

Very nice Tom. I would leave the flower on the right in place as it gives the image a good balance imho. Nice one.
