    Now that's a photograph of a butterfly I've never seen before. It must have taken a lot of patience to get a great shot like that!!

    marlingardener, it was just a matter of patience, and a lot of luck. I don't remember who said it, but I like the quote that says something like "luck favors the prepared." Butterflies had been visiting that flower frequently, so I set up and waited. That one just flew in and landed just like that. I got one shot before she moved.

    Great and unusual image,..seldom do people capturing images of a Butterfly resist the temptation to just capture the open wings for the colors,..i really like your image,..well done.
