Super shot, Juza! The colors of the wings and the bloom really add to this image (if catching him in flight wasn't enough)!

Emanuele,

Good job of getting this guy in focus. Looks really nice against that smooth background. The colors are so vibrant, very nice.

This is super! Colors are great and the sharp blossom adds to the 3D effect. Nice background too. Well done, Emanuele.

Best,
Sven

Excellent shot! I think this is better than your previous HB Moth post as the position and bluring of the wings is preferable here.
