Captured this beauty today at the Gardens at Central Park in Warsaw, Indiana.

I have never before been able to capture one of this kind of flutterby, so this is my first and the new lens was used, handheld.

Thank you for your comments.

I tried cropping this one, but did not like it, so left it alone, but did lighten it some.

Looks good Tigz. I will not be commenting for a while. I will try to look at everything (full screen) but I need a break.

Hi, Sandi...

There are so many beautiful colors in this photo. The flowers look delicious and the butterfly is well focused. Excellent posting.

I just LOVE the DoF and composition of this! The bright colors of the lantana are set off by the green leaves, and it all contrasts to the butterfly and just frames it beautifully. A++
