Hummingbird hawk-moth

One of the coolest butterfly species out there. One of these visit our garden every day for some nectar. It is very difficult to take a decent capture. Yesterday after 8 p.m. It flew around again. It is much slower in the evening, and so an easier target. But the lighting conditions are difficult. I had to crank up the ISO, took 61 pictures and there were three decent ones. This one is without cropping, a fairly sharp head (could be just a tad sharper though) and a nice soft background. I had to denoise a lot and intensify the colours.I hope you enjoy it.
