I think his ragged wing tells a story, do you?

It does. We often think of butterflies (and many insects in general) as fragile and easily killed, but they persevere with the most extreme wounds and damage, like missing legs. And when I think of flying, I think of perfection. Human flight requires it, but nature’s flight does not. I think you could crop more of the post out if you wanted, it’s a bit overwhelming to the subject for me. And the backlighting there is the star in a way so I’d emphasize that with maybe a touch of dodging and burning in the wings. Sweet catch.
