...Sting like a bee! Is his name Mohammad? HeeHee... Watch out. He might surprise you and do a bomb dive! :D

I have never seen a butterfly in the air with the sky like this in the BG and wide opened wings. If this were my image all would know I did some magic on it...but your magic usually seems to happen right at the camera. I bow to your work!

Great job, Jeff!
