 This is my first challenge entry.

I had the idea of settling outside in my garden on Sunday afternoon to wait for the hummingbirds that normally feed on these purple flowers. I waited and waited... Then this lovely delicate creature rested just by me and posed for a few frames! Here is my best shot - simply a cropped version of the original image. (I did have some other lovely photos but thought that this edit was a little more unusual.)

I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks =;-)

I am surprised at the low score. There's nothing wrong with this photo. In fact, it's quite nice!

Nice capture. The colors are a little muted though.

I like the way the plant leads me to the moth. Otherwise given his size this might not have worked. Good shot.

I love how the delicate butterfly appears to be heavy enough to bend the delicate flower, fascinating.
