One of thousands!

The marriage of clarity and bokeh is uniquely alluring. Excellent work, Gary.

Adorable image, Gary! These modest little inflorescences against a blurred background, colors plus a detailed caterpillar create a beautiful picture! Well captured! I like it! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Thanks so very much, Wayne. Most appreciated.

Cheers, Gary

Hi Tatiana: Your comments are always so edifying and I thank you so very much for that.

Regards, Gary.

Hi Gary,

 

I think both Wayne and Tatiana have said it already, but I'm going to throw in another praising comment, because your image deserves it. The caterpillar stands out as the subject of this spring/early summer-photo, but the flowers against that dreamy background are almost equally eye-catching. Some would say this is against the rules of photography, but I would say you have made a beautiful image. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Vincent....thank you so much for your very generous comments. I am indeed honored.

Best regards, Gary.

Beautiful subdued color tones .. and the background is very smooth and good looking, too.

Thank you so much, Timo.

Gary

Although subject not exactly very dear to me, wonderful picture we have here, Gary! Cheers! PDE

Munching his way to the top.

Yeah, not dear to me either, Pierre. Thank you so much for your comment.

Regards, Gary

thoroughly like the color and composition

Thanks very much, Aileen.

Absolutely beautiful and I do like the bokeh. Even an intruder could be art. Well done Gary. Best regards, Arthur.

Hi Arthur: thanks so much for your kind comment. Very much appreciated.

Regards, Gary

very pretty, as most have mentioned. I would only add that the brave caterpillar does not "become" a butterfly. It digests itself, and the butterfly grows in and eats the goo.

Hi Jamie, thanks very much for your comment.

Regards, Gary.
