Hi Doina! This is a stunning shot. I went ahead and moved the common name into the appropriate text field and moved your title to the description. This is the appropriate format to make sure your beautiful spotting shows up in searches and other queries. I hope this makes sense and thanks again for sharing this amazing image!
