Beautiful butterfly! Love how close up you got of it. They fly away so fast. I tried one time to take a picture and it flew off just as my camera clicked. LOLOL EXCELLENT PHOTO! V Husg Maria

I like the way the lighting turned, out you can still see the details in the shady parts perfectly and it is easy and interesting on the eye! 8-)

Excellent shot though the shadow is a shame. I had the same problem the last time I got to go out shooting...my shadow kept getting in the shot!!! I was ready to do what Peter Pan did and sew it to the GROUND! LOL! Excellent shot! Beautiful specimen!!!
