Perfect position, great details, perfect bkgd. Love that bluish coloring on the body and in the wings. It fairly glows. As Diane suggests, I think the darks could be less dark.
Hi Diane and Nancy, thanks much for the comments. I debate quite a bit to myself how much to lighten the wings in this species. The actual wing color is usually quite a dark black - for this individual probably darker than what I have shown above - but the details are much easier seen when they are lightened as you mention. I like showing details but I also like staying true to the subject. hmmmmmm......
Hi Allen. Excellent overall sharpness, a nice diagonal comp, and a clean background. I would agree with you that the dark areas need to be dark to be true to your subject. Very nicely done!
