I am not familiar with this BF. Very unique. Thanks for sharing. At first, I thought maybe this was a mating pair. Just like in your first post, I like the small BF against the BG. The bg is a bit busier, though I like the monotone colors, and I think the BF itself could be a bit sharper in the wings and rear, which are prominent in this view. :wavey:

I like the diagonal perch, good colors & exposure.
Good view of the rear parts that serve as a distraction for predators, they can't tell which end is up :wink:
