Spot on ( ) focus. Fascinating and unusual framing.

Hi Patricia,
A stunning shot of the butterfly, i do find the background a tad distracting though, but still a cracking shot.

Patricia..this is gorgeous, but I'd love it if you'd post a larger version. The colors are outstanding. Others may disagree, but I like the "framed" effect with the other flower on the left in focus ...I think I would cut off some of the top. Although, the arched flower above is a neat element....IMHO< it leads your eye away from the subject.

Unique and beautiful, Patricia. I like the profile view of the wing detail, and the pink flower add real beauty to the image.
