    Art this is really lovely and you have many good points to this image. Nice composition - although I think you could also go with a little less plant below and a little more room above the DF. Your colors are beautiful and you got a very nice exposure to this with good lighting. My only negative would be the dark brown area where I believe the two sets of wings are overlapping. If you had chosen a little different angle you might have gotten better separation and retained the see-thru look of the wings better. Other than that, I think you did pretty darn well with this one. My only other suggestion would be to selectively sharpen the eyes just a bit more as they look soft compared to the rest of the DF.

    Hey Art, very nice details on the body, Love the BG colors. I like the crop. Brown blob on the wing is the only distraction for me, but overall very well done.
