Another Mimi's butterfly... Love the blue! :-)

Great shot, MIMI! High marks and thank you for sharing this beautiful butterfly with us :)

Extremely gorgeous looking blue butterfly. Well done Mimi.

A beautiful shot it looks as though he's spread his wings just for you!!

wow, greay job, this is on of your prettier butterflies :)

I agree: 'Wow' great job, excellent capture. Very nice colour!

Beautiful, crisp shot Mimi. I see you've got quite a few fans of your butterfly series. Well deserved!

Thanks for another beautiful butterfly, Mimi. Great shot of this gorgeous creature. Thanks for sharing. :)

Agree with PIerre. The blue is rich and bright enhanced by the black markings. I like the capture of the entire wingspan.

Mimi this one is exquisit in my opinion. Such a rich blue colour for sure. Well done!

well what can i say that already hasn't been said. just love your butterflies it shows that you take the time to make it right. thanks mimi!

Blue is one of my favorites, and this one sure is beautiful. Looks like it's enjoying you capturing him on your cam. Great shot from the artist. Keep 'em coming Mimi!

I tried like crazy to get one of these guys during my trip to the Butterfly House, Not one of 'em would settle long enough to shoot. I'm so jealous. But it appears that I've caught one here. :P

Thanks!

Nice capture Mimi.Love the shade of blue.
Peace&Respect Jojo

in in love!! me and parents went to a butterlfy conservatory and tried to get some pics of them, man its hard! maybe beacuse of all the people, they flutter around all the time and dont settle down for very long. nice pic!!!!

I love the shades of blue on the butterfly, though i would've liked the picture a bit more if there had been different colors for contrast. I'm not too fond of the dark shade of green of the leaf, but it's a very beautiful butterfly.

Wow, he's lovely. He can hitch a ride with me any day. :) Nice photo dear.

Very nice! The "morph" is beautiful! Keep it up. ;)

spectacular colours on that butterfly. well done this is a great shot.

You do such a nice job of catching these little creatures. Bravo. I really liked your humming birds as well.

Having snuck up on many a B-fly and come away without a shot (what? .. I bathe) .. I regard this as an accomplishment .. I picture it like the BIG trout in the stream .. they didn't get to be that size by being careless

If .. there were other forces at play here .. like, you were playing Vivaldi on the stereo or the wild african hibiscus was in bloom rendering him drunk and unable to move from its fragrance ..

Please do not tell me

What a gorgeous shot and what a beautiful butterfly! Love the brilliant blue of the butterfly next to the green leaves. Great shot.

Love love love it! Gorgeous color.

Note to self: Avert eyes from Keith's postings until you, yourself have commented, lol. Funnily enough though, I was thinking that exact same thing.

More or less. ;o)

On a more semi-serious note ... ahem ... I am somewhat aware of the difficulties in a successful 'capture' of these glorious and colourful creatures. To have done so, as you did here with this image, is no small feat apparently.

Add in the fact, that compositionally the image is quite strong and yes, I am thinking you and nature must have conspired ... once again ... for our viewing benefit. Nice work.

Perhaps you will revisit this series again and provide us with some more? Take your time, check your schedule ... 'we' will be here when you decide to do so. ;o)

and to think I missed this beauty....
