Hope you like this blue beauty.

Hi Gert.
First of all I am amazed with subject and sweet composition of the image. They are simply wonderful. Second is great DOF and terrific details of the ear and beautiful small butterfly. Both of them are in focus. Third is fine silk BG. All together they are a stunning art work. Thanks a lot and all the best, dear friend.
Alexei.
