Another beauty in your series!! Wow the color on this butterfly, I don't think that I have seen one quite like it! Magnificent!!

A masterpiece my friend !!!
But where did you find these beautifull buterflies ?????

Beautifully done, Danny!!!!!

Gay accenture, the brights and pales lead the eye in the wonderland.

Oh, what a great find, and to have it sit on those colors...just great! I never seem to be able to catch butterflies, they're too quick for me...

wow, beautiful colors. Nice, crisp detail...awesome shot.

Danny...you take the most professional photographs of anyone I know. Your close-ups are just amazing. Ever thought of working for National Geographic? Your views of nature are outstanding...brilliant, vivid colors and such clarity!...Cheryl

ok, im not a specialist in photography - by the way i like this picture - but how did you do such things, i mean you blow a whistle and hura here is the buterflie, just take your camera and bingo - ??? - hmmm or you sit down with your camera in front of a flower the whole day and hope that there will come a butterflie - ??? - someday you had to tell me. see you

I love the comment above me...it brought me a huge smile! As for the photo, it is magical. You obviously are more than a mere amateur when it comes to your photography :)

A beautiful photogrpah!! What an excellent shot. I can see the face of the beautiful butterfly! Bravo!!

Beautiful work Danny!

Oh, it's just wonderful! Beautiful colors and amazing sharpness.

Ha ha I well understand people that is the problem with wildlife photography!! I give some tips away in the Renderosity Magazine.. But yeah there are a few of us silly people who will wait for hours for the right moment.. If something is beautiful is it not worth waiting for.. And if so then you owe it to yourself to get it right. Thanks for your praise it makes it worthwhile to share my passion for these wonderful creatures. I could perhaps give a few comments as introduction or we could start a wildlife forum and pass on tips that way?

Dan, Your awsome........what else can I say...your Macro Photography is the utmost best, you have a knack for this that is unmatched here.....John

How about making a tutorial for the photography tutorial section?.... We would be honored to have some of these wonderful tips as a resource for our photographic members here! As always your work is topnotch!

The purity of this photo is a wonder to behold. Got my vote~

Absolutely perfect photo!! Fantastic theatre of colours!!!!

Gorgeous shot, such beautiful color. I for one would be absolutely interested to read about your technique. I was shooting yesterday and came across a clearing filled with butterflies. But every time I got at all close to one of them, off they went! Frustrating! Do tell... :)

how extraordinary! Thanks for sharing. :)

one of the most beautifully coloured butterfly I ahve ever seen... what a dream you've shared.... thank you :)

Again a stunner! Really love your Passion series! You're the master!!! BTW what did you put on the yellow flower to make the butterflies want to come ;o)...more, more, more!

The colors are a pleasure for the eye, Dan!

Nice sharp picture of this butterfly! Can you make me a fullblown crop?
