Wow, First time I've ever seen this variety of swallowtail, Barb. The BF is gorgeous and very well captured. I like the position/pose and detail. :toast:

I'm very attracted to the creamy colors in the bf., Barb. The very soft lighting really shows those colors off well.

A very delicate view!! I think that the understated contrast works well in this case. :smile:

The tonality of this is gorgeous, Barb !! Love the soft greens that set the scene and the butterfly itself is beautifully captured in a great pose. Very nice image !!!
