What a beautiful butterfly, and one that I don't think we see around here. The offset of colors in this image to me are striking. Bravo on this excellent image my friend. tigs=^..^
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Excellent capture Mr. C. and I agree with Sandi not a butterfly I see - I particularly like how the butterfly and red flower pop against the background.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
A terrific assortment of colors in here, C, including the black and white of the swallowtail (?) butterfly. Nice composition and the use of bokeh as well.
