Wonderful color, detail and nature capture! #10828921frank w. degenhardt September 01, 2013
This is so pretty Ellen. Gorgeous colors that are such a treat for the eyes. I love that background to start with and how it lets the flower stand out. Enjoy the composing and how that flower bends and hangs down. So pretty. Then I can't say enough about the beauty of the Swallowtail. We have seen the butterfly and the flower many times, but this is exceptional dear friend.frank w. degenhardt September 01, 2013
