Really nice Sandi. I like the angles of the flower and butterfly. The focus is great and the background is nice.

Such great detail and colour on the butterfly. How did you get so close without scaring the little thing away?

Wasn't Vanessa atalanta on "Desperate Housewives"? She looks very different with no makeup. I would say that some electrolysis is in order at a minimum and maybe some Botox.

This very well could be the finest insect shot I've ever seen on Caedes. I would expect to see a shot like this in National Geographic. The detail is fantastic. Beautifully sharply focused work that makes me want to go to Indiana and steal your equipment. But that wouldn't help because your skill set is light years beyond mine. Not a thing wrong with this shot. Faves and an AC nomination.

Hats off to the master of butterflies in action !!!
And being a secret agent helps in shooting them, creeping without making a sound.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
