This is in the Flutter exhibit at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and there was supposed to be a butterfly in this shot, but it took off before I could click the shutter. LOL.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

It's an red-ish butterfly, so it can blend in perfect with the flower.

A wonderful shot of the flower. Like the presentation of it.

Excellent, even without the butterfly! Sounds like my butterfly stories ... they never seem to stay around for me.

Those butterflies! Never around when you need them. Still, at least the hibiscus didn't let you down Jim. Reliable and beautiful too.

When I first looked at it I was thinking that you shouldn't have cropped out the whole flower. But I think I do like it as it is. Your color, clarity and DOF are perfect!!! Faved. Those butterflies have a mind of their own, don't they ;-).
