Back to the butterfly farm for this one, and for the next couple of days.
I really must say a BIG thank you to everyone for the wonderful comments on yesterdays experiment, sorry I've not had time to thank you all personally :)
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)

@Shutterbug: Thank you Shutterbug :)
What can show more beauty than butterflies and flowers? Very nice one! For one similar I took in the ditch in front of our house go to my personal website at web.mac.com/wolfgang.prigge1, open the album "My favorite photos" and scroll down about three quarters. Sorry, the album might take some time to load.

@Lorraine: Thank you Lorraine, it was a magical place to visit, my husband said the look on my face as we were surrounded by all the wonderful butterflies was priceless LOL :D
This is so very pretty, Mary! :) I love the contrast of colours of the orangey reds of the flowers + yellows of the butterfly, with the greens, black and white! And there is such delight in the meeting of that butterfly with the flower! :)

@Eleftheria: Thank you Eleftheria, butterflies are wonderful creatures :)
Very nice MB. I rarely make suggestions but maybe if the background was a little less distracting it would push this image over the edge for me. It just seems a little busy to me.
Still, nice job

@Rob: Thank you Rob, I agree with the busy background, being a distraction, it does take something away from this capture. I took this one from a few different angles but I just couldn't get away from the background! Tomorrows is less busy :) Thank you I apprieciate your imput on this one :)
Dazzle. Dazzle. Spendid image. Wonderful colorations.
