Emil, This is superb. If you cloned out the bottom flower that is oof, I wonder if it would make this a stronger image? Am curious what others think.

Really a nice image and not easy to get one of these quick movers.
I would either like to see more of the bottom flower or none of it, and agree with the above that perhaps no bottom flower would be worth trying.
