Very nice Scott, great detail with perfect composition too. I really like the blue showing on the legs. Never noticed that before. The mottled background adds additional color that compliments both the Butterfly and the flowers. devil

Scott.. beautiful straight forward details in here. The three flowers in a line makes this better. Nice work

Scott: Just a superbly crafted shot in every way. Terrific plane of focus and DOF management and the BG is wonderful. Most excellent.>=))>

Absolutely beautiful. The detail in the butterfly and the DOF are wonderful. I don't think you could have come up with a more beautiful and perfect background if you could have chosen it.
