Very nice work all around Barb - Great detail/DOF, framing, BG, light, and POV.
The Passion B-flies rich color really lives up to its name here too :smile:
Well done! :toast:

Love the rich orange color against the contrasting green bg, Barb. The butterfly is just showing off with the wide winged pose. Very nice image of this Fritillary. :toast:

Excellent detail, Barb, and I like the angle.

Lovely colors and terrific sharpness, wing-tip to wing-tip. That's hard to do.
