I took this photo in a butterfly tent. It was very enjoyable to be surrounded by so many beautiful butterflies and flowers.

Really nice, Barb. I love these butterflies. They have such amazing markings. Your pof was right on the money and the soft bg works well for the subject.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I see a couple dust spots in the ULC that you may want to take care of.

Thank you for your comments, Scott. I didn't notice the dust spots when I posted. Here is a new version with the dust spots removed.

Great closeup of this close cousin to the monarch. I remember trying to shoot this Rice Paper species at the Houston Museum of Natural Science years ago..Always much more difficult in a B-fly house..
I especially like the classic translucent quality of the wings I see.
Nice details where it counts & well composed Barb
