These butterflies are very small and becoming quite rare here in the UK with only a few areas where they can be found.

Exotic looking butterfly, and I like the floral setting, as well as the detail in that giant eye. Might have a color banding issue in the background(not sure what that is called or what causes it)

Geoffrey:
A very well composed image. Like the action of the BF and the diagonal orientation. The perch is just a impressive as the bf and sweet bg. Well done.

Wow. Gorgeous detail in the BF. Perhaps just a tad over-sharpened on the perch flower petal because I see a little border artifact along the edges. Nice comp and BG.
