Very nice butterfly photo,Jim,the hibiscus is very pretty,very nice orange color as well,it is sad that the butterfly has a broken wing.Good luck in the contest.
This is a dreamy orange~soft like sherbert! Beautiful textured petals and perfect cropping here! Good luck in the contest Jimbob~this one is a real winner! :)Ami
Very lucky that this butterfly posed on such a beautiful flower for you. I'm not sure if I have ever seen a flower of this shade. The butterfly is well captured. Good job. And good luck in the contest as well.
Hey Jim first off I did not know you were a head banger! Lol!
Second I must say this is a beautiful capture and the contrast of the butterfly against the color of the flower is wonderful. Good luck in the contest with this fine entry.

So gorgeous even with a broken wing! Your colors are so outstanding in this beautiful close up Jim! Good luck! And what are you headbanging to? Some hard rock?...lol
A fine butterfly macro, Jimbo. Excellent detail and colour in this image. I like the orange hibiscus, It's a shame about the broken wing on the butterfly. Great contest entry, Good luck.
This colour is very interesting, i think it is half way from orange to peach. Not my favourite, but with this nice poor butterfly it is very harmonious.
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
This butterfly picked a very pretty setting JimBob - and your timing in capturing was perfect. I've always wondered if they have trouble flying when injured.
This is terrific Jim. Not sure I can say why, but the colours and the way you've put it together just work. I think it's one of your best ever. Faved. Great entry for the comp, it deserves to do very well.
Such a great photo for the contest JimboB. The softness of the scene mirrors the sympathy for the Broken Wing. You should do very well with this one my friend.
You have got the right butterfly on the right colour Jimbob. Excellent entry for the contest. The clarity is very good.
P.S. By the way just looking at your new avie makes me giddy. :)
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Good job Jimbob!
