It's probably a violet winged carpenter bee. It is also massive. I noticed flower stems being bent and petals being broken. This bee is about as macho (although it's a female) as a flying insect can be. Other bees, wasps and flies seemed to be a bit nervous of it.
I'm a wee bit colour blind but my wife, who wasn't taken by the insect, said that its body as well as wings were violet in certain light.

That’s not Richmond Park
Great shots. Where was it?
You've not seen the polar bears in Richmond Park then? Great shots. Where was it?
This was in Svalbard - I've just written a blog about my trip there, with some more photos if anyone's interested.

Thank you Rather chuffed for it to be in the shortlist for the Amateur Photographer Wildlife round announced this week.
I bet.It's the light that makes it - not sure how much was planning, how much just right-place / right-time, and how much is post-processing, but it's just right.

Post processing was IIRC limited to selective dodging on him to reduce the blacks/enhance whites, and a denoise/upsize in Lightroom.
