 Day 9 of 30 Flowers

My Coneflowers are infested with Skippers! Sometimes I see more than one on a flower, but this time the one in flight was sort of waiting his turn.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, levels, increased gamma and contrast, slightly desaturated crown of flower in background, lowered saturation on greens and shifted away from yellow, dodged Skipper on flower, added border, resized, sharpened with noise reduction.

This is a fabulous shot. I love the motion on the wings and the background.

Wonderful detail on the flower and the both of the moths. I really like the way the body of the flying moss is solidly in focus while you can imagaine the speed of its wings from the blur. Nicely done!

This is fun to look at, and your title is quite clever. Nice and bright, with a cool background.
