Well, we think it adds some beauty!
We would like to move these to vivida, if it's ok. They just are quite beautiful images of the bright blue male. Should help others ID their images if they have something this good to compare it to.

Sure!
I started to put them there, then saw an earlier series I'd done that I felt was far better. If I'd seen something like different color, I'd have thought these were keepers, or if the post would have added to Data info.

But hey, I'm a lousy self-editor, and if you think these photos help, do your stuff!
