Another great shot, Pierre. If it wasn't so perfectly balanced,I have called you, on the center positioning of the subject. Excellent example, of how to break compositional rules, properly. Nice work.
What a delightful image Pierre! I love the lighting that you captured. It enhances the flower blossom as well as the detail of the butterfly. Very tastefully done. Thank you for sharing this with us :~)
Another beautiful capture of the array of design and color in both the butterfly and surrounding flowers...very interesting to view all the detail...great work.:Pat.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.....
Hello Pierre. This image has a science-fiction look to it with the orbs arranged as they are and the butterfly, like an alien perched atop its planet. I am reminded of Isaac Asimov meets Dr. Seuss. The colors are rich and crisp, and the flower (?) on the right is captured at just the right angle to show its swirling pattern. Lovely job from a real professional.
