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.

Wow. I havenever seen a butterfly go that far down into a flower before in my entire life. This is such a unique image!

Amazing capture, Nette! I hope the judges feel the same way!
