I always like lacewings. The wings are so big and beautiful. This one was sitting on a plant on my balcony. The dark BG is my living room window.

Really an excellent find and capture. I like the pose, and the detail in the lacy wings is superb and shows up really well against the dark BG. My initial thought was that there is a lot of space at the top, but I do like the curve of the stem, and a crop from the top would result in the image being bisected diagonally. So, I think I'd keep it as is. Again, excellent image, Ellen. :toast:
