Hallo Gary
This is such a lovely butterfly with the most spectacular patterns and markings on the wings. If this was a colouring picture any child will get lost not knowing which colour to use to bring this beauty to justice. I just fancy the soft coloured lining along the edges of the wings. I also like the way you placed the insect in the middle of the frame. This way one can observe and appreciate the finer details of the insect to a great extent.
Thanks for this contribution.
Best regards
Anna

Hi Gary,
Outstanding shot of this gorgeous and beautiful Common Buckeye with such lovely colours and markings on its wings. Fantastic pose captured here with perfect lighting and exposure levels. The OOF pink flowers add nice colours too. Excellent DOF, POV and composition. Kudos.
