Congrats Greg! Great capture of this small and fast flying Hummingbird Hawk-moth (as Sebnum has named it).
The thistle-type of flower and the cobweb and moth are all nice and sharp. You must have been very pleased with the result. Good one!

Wow, I'm a little jealous, what beautiful motive with excellent sharpness and colours.
I like the light shining through the wings and the little shaddow of the moth on the thistle.
Wonderful, thanks
