[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Again, I plead ignorant on the name of this butterfly..It's something I could not resist clicking, I was chilling out, enjoying the sun in front of this rose-bed, and I saw a variety of butterflies and insects come visiting (or should I say snacking?) this rose in particular.
Hope you like it.

Hi Goldy,
A nice capture of this gram blue (I think) over the beautiful rose. Very good composition and details. Thanks a lot for sharing.

A fine rose close up Goldy, initially I thought the butterfly was one of the errant petals of the rose, only on second take I realized its presence, quite a nice effect, my friend.
Cheers,
Mehmet

The butterfly is so well integrated with the flower it looks like a part of it, Goldy.
I had taken a similar image of a butterfly resting on a Chinese Rose flower last year.
The focus on the eyes of the subject is very sharp.
Overall, a well composed image.

Hi Goldy,
like Mehmet, i thought that this Butterfly was a part of the flower at first. It sounds like a nice way to spend your time though, chilling by the flowers!
You have cuaght some really eye catching colour here my friend and have chosen a very good low level to get this POV. DOF and is very good too. Nicely done!

Woow Bro Goldy,
Superb shot of this rose and butterfly! All are perfect!
TFS.
Cheers,

Hi Goldy, good shot of butterfly and rose. Good details and colours against the excellent DoF. tfs

could be a white...but may too small..very nice blending of the colour pallet..You would enjoy Paintshop Pro Photo...It's only 79 bucks and does more than CS3! It is what I use most of the time...I have CS2 thanks to someone who got a new one...but I don't use it too much.

Hi Goldy,

I don't know how you managed to spot this butterfly - it looks to be part of the flower. Nice details and brilliant colors.

I would stop and have a snack at that rose for sure... I haven't visited your gallery much lately and I missed some great shots! This one is lovely, with beautiful bright colours making the composition alive and fresh. I like the pink against the green and the nice butterfly in front of the frame. Thanks,Goldy, beautiful work!

Hi Goldy,

A nice close-up photo of the flower with the buttefly posing on the petal. The point of view is showing the details, colors of the flower and of the insect. The subject is well framed. The light brings out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Goldy,
Wonderful shot of this tiny blue butterfly on the rose petals. Probably it is a Pea Blue. Very neat and sharp image with superb light control and exposure management. I like your chosen POV to portray it and you have captured both the subjects beautifully. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Goldy!

I had to have a closer look to discover the butterfly! This is not only a beautiful, but also an amazing picture, showing such a wonderful rose and butterfly together. Maybe the butterfly is a bit overexposed, but nothing that could influence on the beauty of the picture.

Kind regards

Markus

Hallo Goldy
A most enjoyable and colourful sight. The rich and vibrant colours of flower is stunning. Good focus and sharp details, especially on the eyes and the antenna of the butterfly captured. A very pleasing to the eye image. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
