Captured with the lens at the calendar gardens. Pam the gardens keeper has a guide on butterflies, that is how I know what this one is.

Thank you for the views, and comments.

I didn't even know there was a butterfly with red spots. It looks pale purplish in color. I'll have to watch for this one. Beautiful focus on the butterfly & the DOF is perfect. Excellent, Sandi.

It's beautiful, but I think a vertical format does a better job of presenting the butterfly, and cropped down to almost the wing tips.

There's something about that background color that really makes this shot! Wonderful color and a beautiful composition Sandi!!!

I agree with Doug about presenting it vertical, Tigz.
Unusual and beautiful butterfly. Bokeh is outstanding.

Beautiful image of great focus and clarity with the butterfly and flower looking so good. Although I'm afraid that I'm with Tick and Doug in that it would be more dramatic if it was verticle.

Nicely captured Sandi and the background is also perfect. I think vertical might be slightly better but a good shot is a good shot no what the format.

I for one like the horizontal presentation. A great capture of the butterfly Sandi. Wonderful colours and nice details in the photo.
