Sweet image, Yun. Love the perfect wings. The Queen was just showing off. The orange flowers are a nice pop of contrasting color. Fine capture. Wish it were mine. :toast:

A really crisp image, Yun, with excellent separation of the butterfly and the main flower and lovely light and colour. The wings are indeed a treat in themselves !!
