Hello Goldy. Nice dig of the butterfly and the violet flower. Abba might be right about the song and good for the image too. Best regards. Jusni

Hallo Goldy
I like this one. I am a "purple-holic" I don't think there is a word like that in the dictionary and if not I just created one. It is like somebody that is crazy about chocolates becomes a chocoholic. It just means I am mad about the colour purple and when I saw the purple flowers in your image I immediately liked it. The image also went straight to my theme "My purple obsession". You have managed to capture this beautiful butterfly in a lovely pose and with great clarity and detail. The colours of the wings are very soft looking, and I like the visibility of the plumpish body. It is a pity that the head of the insect is not visible, but it seems as if this butterfly is having a feast in the nectar and is just "digging” in. Thanks for sharing. As I said in the beginning. I like this one.
Kind regards
Anna
ps. And Abba actually said Money Money, but what would that mean to a butterfly? so I agree that Honey Honey sounds better here.

Goldy, I will not ask you but I also posted something similar and dont ask me why? Nice shot and in such poses you always get tempted to shoot. Many times I controlled but finally the camera won. Ganesh

Hi Goldy,
Wonderful shot of this beautiful butterfly sticking its neck deep inside the flower for nectar. I bet its mind is not thinking of ABBA right at this moment and is busy sucking to owns sweet will only. But still very appropriate song for the moment. Very neat and sharp image with nice colours and perfect lighting. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Now this is what I call a perfect shot, Goldy.
Superb details on the wing of this Cabbage White you captured sucking nectar out of a beautiful blue flower.
Great POV, details and colours and a well composed shot.
Keep it going and all the best.

From what I remember of ABBA, they really didn't speak English well at all and most memorized phonetics of English lyrics...now that may be a myth, legend or some such but it sticks in my mind...they are a rather older group....
Well....perfection as you mention, is only in the eyes of the beholder. I did not notice any imperfections until you mention it....sometimes I suggest to a couple of my friends....let others decide on imperfections....otherwise you plant a seed which may or may not germinate but acts more like a thorn....so to me...especially in the mixing of colours..it is a fine image

"Money, Money" I think!!
This looks like one of our White "Cabbage" Butterflies, Goldy, named so because they love to eat our garden plants, and especially the cabbages.
I like the purple flowers, and the butterfly looks very happy with his head stuck in one.
Cheers
Janice
