Beautiful critter. Liked the composition and perspective of the image. The BG looks lovely too. The light is a tad bit harsh IMHO.

Beautiful image. The highlights could use some taming.

I like the black and orange color combination, Sharron, and the comp. Pretty cool that you captured this BF perched on an orange flower. Looks like the lighting conditions were challenging, especially for a mostly black subject.

Definitely a beauty, Sharron with good sharpness in the bf and flower against a nicely oof background. Parts of flower in particular look too bright, but holding texture in the darks with this much light is a big challenge.
