Hello Christian,
Very nice shot! The colours and sunny lighting are great, POV very good too. I think DOF is nice though maybe f/9 was a bit too much. I would like to see BG a little more blurred.
Overall, WELL DONE on this one!

Eyecatching burst of colour and nice symmetrical composition...
Outstanding shot! just beautiful.

Belles couleurs naturelles, grâce à la bonne lumière.
La «frange» au bas des ailes est magnifique. Et que dire des détails du corps de l'insecte qui sont vraiment au point.
Le tout présenté dans son état naturel. Merci, Christian.
