i think that could rapidly become my favourite nature reserve too!! A fine shot I like the composition and the colours exposure looks good and the DOF looks pretty good too, sharp where you need it to be. The background sets it all off very pleasantly too, a fine image.
Beautifully done (in the BIRDS AS ART style if I might add). BKGR is sweet. Love that all of the legs, the antennae, and the abdomen are all sharp at f/8.

Hi Joe. A beautiful specimen giving you a great pose on an attractive flower, in nice light, and with a pleasing background! You might try adding a little black to the blacks - not so much that they block up, but just enough to give them a bit more snap. Excellent work!
