This is a shot from inside the Butterfly Museum in Niagra Falls Ontario. I do not know what type of butterfly it is but I loved the way it caught the light on the top of this tree. (ISO 400, f5.6 1/400 200mm)

Very pretty, it even looks like there's two sets of wings from the shadows of the actual ones. well done.

Gorgeous macro. One of the best I've seen of a butterfly. I love the backlighting on the wing, really brings out the colour.

~Great capture on this beautiful butterfly! You're right, the outstanding thing about this shot is the wing lit up. Love the background too.

Great title for this beautiful shot, Russell. The complimentary colouring and excellent lighting really make this image shimmer. Full marks to you for a first rate photo.

I'm fairly certain that this is a "Julia Heliconian" and you've captured it beautifully. Very nice -
