Giant Swallowtail - so large that it had to keep it's wings moving in order to keep the flower from settling to the ground.

Darn bugs just won't stay still- I love the picture though. The blurred wing kind of looks like that paint effect that verenabloo does.

Personally I even like the movement feeling. It looks much more dynamic. Still you managed to capture the butterfly sharply enough. It resembles me some water colour. Great job.

If you admire nature for its creations why don't you visit the gallery of its reporter...

Excellent, your colors are superb and the movement, in this case, enhances the photo. Well done!

beautiful

butterfly's and I don't see eye-to-eye .. I feel they should hold still while I steady my hand and hold my breath and get in a zen state of mind in order to bring my finger pressure down on the button in EXACTLY the right footpoundage to execute an award winning shot

and they don't agree

the arguments are heated sometimes

This one I like the motion in. It gives you an idea of size and the balancing act. Lovely color and not too busy for a desktop since you caught it on that single, isolated flower.
