I thought you all might like to see what the Queen butterfly chrysalis looks like just before the BF is about to emerge. The chrysalis got dirty due to it being near the ground and a rain storm coming through earlier in the week. Hope you enjoy!

Very well composed. It stands out nicely from the bg and I'm enjoying the great details.

I like those details in the chrysalis and the stem and how it stands out from the background.

I love the details in this shot! Gorgeous! The completely smooth background is nice - though the color could be more appealing. I wonder if a simple green cloth or board behind would make a difference.

Nice find!
Great detail and colours, and nice BG.
