    Joe it looks very nice indeed, DOF is almost perfect I really like the colours details and composition. I really like it.
    From a compositional POV I suppose the leaf on the right is a little undesirable, i.e. it is at odds with the opposite side of the image.

    Hey, I have seen hummingbirds of yours on these plants and now I have seen butterflies - how about hummingbird hawk moths!! Keep 'em coming, it's almost dead in this forum!!
