Beautiful picture. Great detail. I like the sharpness and colors of butterfly wings.

Nice focus on the butterfly. Just wish the thistle was as sharp.

Outstanding, Howard. The PL Butterfly is really beautiful. It almost looks like it is gloings, especially in the larger version. Really good detail in the BF as well, especially about the head and eyes.

Perfect dof for this shot Howard.
Like the color and position of buterfly
I would almost consider a glaus blur of the thistle.

She's a beauty, Howard, and very nicely placed in the frame. Terrific dof to get the antennae and wings wonderfully sharp.
