I don't know if this is the proper forum for this shot, but it seemed the most appropriate.

Last fall I visited the buterfly house at Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain Georgia. Along with lots of standard shots of butterflys; I happened to catch this one.

It was mid to afternoon and there was a strong light shining through the glass.

Canon 1D; 100-400mm

Alan this is the shooting out of the box we all talk about here from time to time. The shadows and the composition are all very nice here, I have nothing to nit pick on this one but I think it would have been cool if the butterfly's head was showing in one of these holes here.

Really unique Alan. Clever seeing and good macro shooting. The lighting is great, as are the colours. Comp, well I love it.

All the best Al, fine macro and work.
