I haven't figured out a good signature yet. How about: "Why did the chicken cross the road"

In a photo like this, it is hardly appropriate to discuss composition or details like texture contrast. Instead I shall simply say "Congratulations!" This is a superb shot, perhaps serendipitious that these butterflies are on a perfect complementary color. I can mention good focus, good light. A less able and talented photographer than you (such as myself) would have gotten so excited at this scene that the result surely would have been blurred, and too dark. Nice shot!

Lovely shot. The butterflies are beautiful. I love how the flowers almost perfectly match the butterflies. Nice job.

It's great that you made a rare shot from that day. It is a nice shot to remember. The butterflies are quite elegant. It's a collection of beauties. Good clarity, the composition often depends only on luck. Thanks.

Wow, good thing you had a camera!
The background, sort of a grayish detracts somewhat from the picture, but overall is an excellent picture.

Great job on capturing a picture of these rare plants!

Abstractionism is the emo kid of art. Nobody understands him.
