Annet, I love flowers and butterflies and you managed to capture both so beautifully.I am just beginning to take pictures and I hope one day to be able to be like you.
Do you mind telling what camera, lens you use, the settings and if you had to use a tripod which I suspect you had. It seems that all the sharp pictures are never hand held.
Absolutely love it.
