Absolutely Beautiful!!! I love all the colors and the amazing detail. Great job - Lex

 

... through this butterfly's wings and give us a lovely flower macro portrait too, in profile. Beautiful! Your timing and vision give this image great composition. Super simple, perfectly seen. For this presentation, I like that you included the upper background lightening toward the light source. 7/7

Beautiful shot. I like the bg and the lighting. Nicely done. I wonder how long did it take to get him into this pose??? (hahaha)

Really beautiful work with very nice lighting, Jack!

I appreciate everyone's comments and ratings...especially regarding this image, as I find shooting these beautiful insects challenging. I specifically waited on this butterfly to open his wings against the light once I saw him on this flower...as with most photos, there's fifteen or so in the sequence and this is the only one with all the elements just right. Again, thanks to everyone for your support!
