Butterflies have been very scarce in the wild in my area so far this summer, so I was very happy to be able to take my camera to the butterfly tent.  One of the butterflies I photographed there was this Postman Butterfly.

Canon 60D, Canon 70-300@260mm, f/5.6, 1/320, ISO1000

Barb, beautiful colors and good exposure. I like the soft background and the pink color wash. Nice capture.

That's a dramatic butterfly, Barb.  I like how the colored wash at the bottom matches the color in the fore wing.

Nothing to add to the prior comments; but wanted to let you know I like this a lot.

Excellent shot, and I agree with the other comments already made, Barb.
