    That's a beautiful shot. We seems to have a lack of butterflies here in my area this year.

    A beautiful photograph. It's especially nice that you caught it with the wings up so we can see the entire torso. That doesn't happen often.

    I've never captured one where you could see the whole body and believe me, I've tried. You have made a beautiful and unusual image.

    I love this shot! I agree - the colors are wonderful. Seeing the butterfly is also a real treat. I didn't realize that its body is striped. An all around WOW.
