Lovely image Axel, I never realized that this species had such large wings relative to the body.

The down-wing pose, is very effective here, with a nice background colours and patterns, shown, as well.

Beautiful pose, details, colour and iridescence all come together perfectly, Axel!

A great flight shot in perfect light, and a knockout bokeh. What's not to like, love it!
