Hi Seyfi.
I have missed this refined shot and now have an opportunity to comment it. Subjetc is simply amazing as well as POV and composition. Direction of sunlight and light shadows on the wings give special charm to the image. Details and splendid BG impress the imagination. My congratulations and best regards.
Alexei.
