What a beautiful capture! The head and eye are so clear, the 'movement' of the wings is captured, and there is no distracting background to detract from the subject. Nicely done!

Thanks Joe and 'Antarctican'!

Great shot! I don't understand your decision for f/11 though, considering the slower shutter speed, but it's still a great shot!

Since I'm not going to freeze the wings, unless I use flash, I wanted to try and get the whole body in focus. That's why I picked f/11.
