I recently went to the Cockrell Butterfly Center here at Hermann Park and they were feeding so I was able to catch this one by accident ;) Have a great day and thanks as always for your comments. Anita

Lovely butterfly, Anita. I like the totally green background and the leaf he is on looks like a cup. Great accident. Did you catch anymore butterflies? ;0)

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

Beautiful shot! Though the butterfly isn't real flashy in color, the lighting and movement in the greens behind it make for a really pleasing shot, and the frame does a good job of pulling all the colors together. Way to go, girl!

I like the composition. Ms. or should I say Madam Butterfly does not dominate yet she does draw attention via the leave and her color. Just right.
