This is one from my "rainy days" folder. Taken this summer when Morning Glories were abundant and so was the nectar to be enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by and viewing - Hope you enjoy.

Wow! Looks like the background is painted in! What a dramatic change from the in-focus flower and butterfly. Well done!

I wouldn't have thought it possible but that Morning Glory steals the show here Eileen, the Butterfly or Moth takes a back seat. The flower is so sharp it's almost 3D. I'm not sure how you played around with this ... but it's a knockout. Great work.

A grand capture, but, not crazy about the treatment utilized Eileen. Would luv to see the original or even re-work it some if you'd be so kind. Wondrous colors and perfect placement on the take!!

Picture Purrrfect . Some people are like slinky's, completely useless but still a lot of fun when you push them down the stairs. 8~O

I like what you did to the background. It really makes the flower and moth stand out.

Wow! This one is real neat Eileen! Love the way you did the background; the flower and butterfly definitely get our attention here! What a beauty with the sunlight and great colors in the flower and surroundings! Makes me ache for spring! LOL C):-)

A beautiful sight Eileen and well captured. The clarity of the morning glory along with the colors def bring the butterfly to attention. Nicely done.
