Wonderful capture, Yun. The curving stalk and upside down pose add grace and artistry to this BF image. Love the bg, too. Great job and the comp and dof for the subject and bg.

Beautiful image. Great composition, background and detail. The position of the butterfly and the curved line of grass suggest an artistic vision of nature.

Lovely, sharp butterfly set off nicely by the curve of the grass stalk and the soft, warm background.

Great DOF & details, attractive soft BG with its greens/yellows Yun.
I like the graceful arch of the perch/stem, cool hanging pose
