Wow, Keith. Fabulous. Love the amazingly gorgeous Glass Wing, but also the beautiful bg and curving floral stem perch. The entire presentation is exquisite. :toast: :toast:

Wow, what a neat bf. Your image shows well where it's name comes from. I could see a slight crop from the right to add a bit more tension, but the flower stalk and the background work really well.

Beautifully done, Keith. The butterfly stands out well against the variegated green/yellow ground, and there's some nice detail in both the insect and the flower stalk. Lovely image !!
