Maria- What a blessing to be able to work in a place like this and be able to not only see this beauty everyday, but to get a chace to photograph it. This has to be in my favorites as it is one of the most stunningly gorgeous butterfly pictures I have ever seen. The pose is phenominal in itself, but the clarity and sharpness with perfect lighting sets it apart. The details of the butterfly you bring out are incredible. This is a winner my friend.
Have a most wonderful day and enjoy. #8477195

I'm still waiting for one to show up here, Maria - can't wait to have them back! What a wonderful capture...how perfectly cooperative of him to land on such a flowing, curving flower stalk and to have you "at the ready" with your camera! Beautiful color, dof and clarity. Wonderful job, Fellow Butterfly Loving Friend! :) #8477392
