Close-up shots of butterflies abound but this one made me take a double look! The simplicity here combined with the detail and clarity are STUNNING!! The backlit subjects against that out of focus background are so very beautiful! Super job, Leena!! #1269102

At first glance, I thought that beautiful butterfly was over sharpened, then the back light coming thru the wings, tells the whole story. The details are perfect in this gorgeous capture....bet we see this again! 8o) #8614730

Agree with everyone above. THIS IS IMMENSE, as close to perfection as can be. Leena, you have outdone yourself with this one. I am predicting a BIG win for you. Hoping the judges become as awestruck as I am. FAVED.
