Very nice, Ian. Love the colors, including the pristine verbena blossoms, and the angled head on view of the skipper. If you were so inclined, you might consider cloning out the flowers in the urc. I probably would, but that's just me. Excellent and pretty image either way. :toast:

Very nice pose of this skipper. I like the soft purple flowers. I too might clone out the flowers at the upper right corner. :smile:

Great head-on POV, BG, and framing Ian.
I'll add my vote, the URC has to go :wink:
Well done :wavey:

I had thought to leave the URC as it was but I do agree with comments that it would be better left bare of flowers. Thank you, Scott, Tjie and Howard !!
