Carol- A beautiful image of this butterfly enjoying the nectar of that flower. Outstanding composition. The colors are so beautiful in the flowers, the butterfly, even the background. Love the markings on the butterfly. I especially love the sharpness of the details especially the annteni and the way that tongue curls. That is so neat. Incredible work my friend.
Have a wonderful day, enjoy. #1255698
