Very witty image, Fabio ! The butterfly is superbly captured, with great textures, and the bg is perfect.

Clear & sharp, excellent DOF. Very natural colors & a great contrasting BG Fabio.
I especially like the long graceful curve of the stem, this beauty's up on a pedestal :wink:
I just shot a ventral view of the Red Admiral two days ago..
It was hanging from the grasp of a crab spider though :eek:
Well done my friend :toast:
