About Hi everyone, thanks again for all your great comments in the last few days, I was out of town again. While I was gone I managed this shot of a "Mourning Cloak" butterfly, the first one I've seen here. I'll be in catch up mode for the next few days so I'll "talk" to you all then!
Dave.

Dave, I too have been out of town and am way behind on comments. I will try now to catch up. Nice contrast of colors in this one. I do not think I have ever seen that particular butterfly. Nice sharp shot. Del.

Now this really is magical Dave! How you get so close without it moving I just don't know! This is a real work of art to me. Like a painting- the colours wonderful. The textures of the butterfly and the background I love.

Interesting shot, Dave. It is spectacular. With the strong light, you have good contrast and separation from the background. The background seems to be in the same colour pallette as the butterfly's. It is warm and richly tonned!
