Wow David. Excuisite composition. There's color, shadows, soft light. PERFECT! Love the translucency of the wings and the water droplets. Crisp foreground and beautiful Bokah with the sunset. The detail fo the petals is perfect as well and the light reflection adds to the hint of purple in the wings.

I adore this photo! I can't award it for some reason. Not sure why ViewBug changed so much.
