Naveed, Quite an impressive photograph of the lobster claw halconia and the butterfly. For a moment there, I thought you might have been in my neck of the woods. Well done. Peace, karen e michaels #246850

What a beautiful butterfly you've captured, Naveed! It looks almost like a pretty piece of jewellery decorating the haliconia! Great shot! #1334255
