comments are welcome . . .

Donna, this is exquisite! I love the drama of it! I'm so glad the butterfly wasn't symmetrical, it would have made this too perfect to bear!

Thanks Linda, this butterfly is newly emerged from its chrysalis. . . I tried to nudge him into position but he just wouldn't cooperate. . .

stunning macro!

Que maravilla de composicion, excelente iluminacion y unos colores sensacionales. Enhorabuena Donna por tan excelente fotografia. Saludos.

Most beautiful macro. EXCELLENT>>>> & Well Done Thanks for sharing..

Pretty much perfect, Donna! Great color, DOF, lighting, balance. Excellent!

Great colors, sharpness and composition. Very good work!

Nothing I can add to the previous comments; it's an exceptionally beautiful image.

I have heard that the better a photo is the less number of words are needed to describe it. I needed just one.

High quality. Regards:Jose

Breath taking Donna, beauti-full.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. . . I'm in the process of planting a butterfly garden and have been fortunate to attract some butterflies, but I seem to get a lot more caterpillars than butterflies.

This is exceptionally beautiful, Donna. Like a painting that one would like to displayed. Superb macro.

Donna, The composition is not the most pleasing. Otherwise the colour and DOF is very nice. cheers Jana

very nice. Could you tell something about the background, is it natural?

Excellent macro shot.!Beautiful color.!My best regards.

Robert . . . I took this shot in my backyard where there was a distracting dark area behind the plant. . fortunately, I was able to use Photoshop levels to turn the background completely black. . .

 

 

Marvelous, well composed, almost mirroring shapes with natures inherent irregularities. Excellent use of the flash...
