Super capture. His wings must be in warp speed! I really love the way they seem to be made of light. Another great composition. My favorite of the 3.

Usually I don't like butterfly shots where you can see the motion in the wings, but this one works. I think it's because the eye and legs are so sharp. Nice DOF.

Wilson, very artistic shot of the butterfly. I got a similar one in my butterflies folder. Great timing and exposure.
