Such a fine capture of detail. Excellent!
A lil wonder of nature! Excellently done, Danny! V
Wonderful DOF it almost seems as though you captured the butterfly flying over instead of being perched on. Great colors and detail as well. In nature you can't be so picky and have to act quickly before the moment is gone. Fine shot Danny.
Never seen any butterfly growing hair...... Must be the result of a toxic dissaster during the 60's ;0)Great capture!!
Beautiful creatures, arent they? awesome shot!
