    Lovely - showing that you don't need colour to show colour.

    The detail and the exquisite composition make up for the lost colour. I would not appreciate it in the same way.

    I cannot honestly appreciate monochrome, since we are so from November snows to April's ice! But it is a lovely shot!

    Neat monochrome but I want to see it in color now!!!!!!!!!! Ü I have not been sucessful in capturing even one butterfly this sumemr YET! I tried catching a tiny white one but all I got was with its wings closed and it looked like a white triangle out of place. sigh It is a beautiful photo nonetheless.

    I see I missed yestedays so shall go comment there also.

    That was a Hollywood ready butterfly - never met one that would pose for me - great respect for that find!

    I never thought of a butterfly in B&W but it's beautiful. Sort of looks like a very delicate china.

    I must admit that I had to look twice - but I was rewarded: The light made the butterfly almost transparent in monochrome!

    I would not have thought a butterfly in B & W would have made such a good shot... but boy dose this prove me wrong.. stunning shot.

    I just admired the color version..the B&W is incredibly dramatic. I don't know which I prefer! Must I choose?
