Hahahahahaha......LOL........Wonderful title Paul.
The fanclub has something to celebrate with AC winning the Cup :)
Nice colors and color contrast. Sharpness is perfect, but it seems to me that lighting was a bit harsh and therefore contrast is a little to high in this image.
Best regards, Harry

Hi Steve.
The pics sure move fast, seen you and then you were gone.
Sure makes the old common scuffy cabbage tree look quite spectacular silhouetted against the lovely colours. Well seen and composed, exposure, detail, all spot on. May I suggest a crop from the bottom of half the black, brings the eye up into the image nicely.

Siemanko!

Przygod kilka wrobla Cwirka :-) Kosy bardzo lubie bo ladnie spiewaja i maja zadatki na chuliganow. Ciezko jest zrobic im jakies sensowne zdjecie, ale tobie udalo sie bardzo ladnie. Swietne nasycenie barw, poza i kompozycja z jakimis galazkami w tle. Czysto i ladnie.

I am deeply moved not only by the beauty and perfection of this new and interesting post, but by your note laden with feeling and deep reflection. I regret that you have gone through such bad times and the new hard situation in your country. But our heart is always here for you, who has shown to have a great good heart with all.

And, please, making a lot of wonderful pictures more, like those you have posted so far.
This is really a great and marvellous moth, not mine! I love the way you captured it upon the lilacs!
Magnificent job, my friend.
Thank you very much for all.
My best regards.
