A bit pity about the background, but the subject is very well presented. You picked a great angle, + the colours, composition and sharpness are all top quality.

I have looked at this again and have to say it's realy perfect, colors, details, composition, perspective. perfect work

Excellent composition Gary......!!!! Great lighting too....!!!

Nice Bokeh! I'd be suspicious of that bee on the underside of the flower though, he looks ready to attack that butterfly!

Excellent lighting!

Nicely done! The butterfly is thinking "Photographers! Why won't they just let me work?"

Sorry for being late!

Wow Gary!

You really nailed this one!

Angle is just perfect!

Clarity, focus, colors and finally composition.

You are the man!

Colour, lighting & focus perfect.

Perfect! +10

yesterday i tried to photograph some of them , it is really difficult ;o)

excellent macro

great colours, perfect sharpness, good stuff

Digging the color and sharpness, the bee's pretty cool hiding under the leaf.

I have shot almost exactly same kind of macro image (containing same butterfly race) and it reminds me, now, of the redundancy and hobbyist nature of habits which could be the dark side of art if we don't find the originality. It reminds me, that I should really check out what am I thinking and where I should focus in the future. And the same time, it's funny, this is original and unique presentation of beautiful creation of nature and our universe. It could mean new inspiration and thoughts for someone at the right time and place. In that sense the beauty, when captured, can't decrease or expire. So, although we see same kind of things over and over again, our attitude can be altered to see new perspectives beyond the image. Thanks.
