Mike,
It amazes me to see something like the butterfly wing up close. It just makes me more aware of how fantastic nature is.

Endless creativity, indeed. That's an aptly applied comment for you, Mike! This image is gorgeous. Looks like jeweled stain glass, and I've only seen the thumbnail so far. Excuse me while I look... Yes, that, and exquisitely woven cloth. Wow, Nature is overwhelming in its complexity and beauty. This photograph sure makes me appreciate it all over again. Thanks.

Mike,

What a fantastic CU.

I never realized how much texture there is in a butterfly wing. Looks like fabric and feathers. And, in the absence of texture, it would make a wonderful stained glass window.

This would make a wonderful conversation wall photo. How did you get this shot from a live butterfly? Very creative, I am amazed.
