    Lovely shot, if mine I would have cropped a little from the bottom.

      A most unusual angle but so much better for it as it's rare to see the underside and top of the wings simultaneously and with such excellent resolution.

      If this was mine - and how I wish it was - I be inclined to crop slightly to 5x4 losing off the top rather than the bottom as the twin stalks give a nice lead straight to the subject. I would also tone down, or clone out dependent on final use, that bright leaf sprouting from the wing.

        Thank you again, Bill and Nigel.

        Yes, I think it would benefit from cropping. I think the top could be removed, personally. I will have a play with making that leaf less distracting, but I am not that good in photoshop, normally sticking with just what I can do in Lightroom.

                    lovely detail but a shame he is flying away from you and the oof grasses, especially the one coming to the right from the wing is rather distracting
