    This is so beautiful Joe, and so vivid. Love the framing and colours, BG is superb. Techs look great and nice processing too, love it

    Nice capture I like the composition. On the RHS just above mid point there appears to be a clone/patch or brush mark.
    Regarding processing, I would suggest lifting the dark tones 5&6 - it does reveal a little more detail.
    Either the NR or the sharpening is a little abrupt or aggressive, looking at 100% in PSCC there is a rim of granularity on the antenna, tongue and legs - possibly the edge of a mask?

    This fire bush is certainly providing you with plenty of very appealing images.

    I like the framing and the feeding pose on the swallowtail. Nice flowers as well.
