Pretty cool Kostas! You got a great angle and the perfect wing blur! I think if you eliminate the OOF white blob near the right wing and lighten the face and eyes just a bit.....you 've got a winner here! Not the easiest subject to do and you got the focus right where it needed it!:cheers:

I thought this shot looked familiar! ;)

Kostas it's a great shot and you deserved the award. The few things mentioned by Roman will take this one way over the top!

I do hate the little buggers. Not more than 5 minutes ago I was stung on my belly by one that somehow climbed under my shirt!

An amazing capture, Kostas! I really like the motion-blur in the wings and how the antennae are probing into the flower. Roman has a couple good suggestions above that would make this even better. Well done.
