Quite an impressive photo of the Wanderer. Very well done!

I wouldn't have thought of doing a butterfly picture in black and white, but this one is very convincing.

If it's not a monarch it should be. Royaly good shot.
JW22-Aug-2008 18:14
What a stunning shot - it really makes sense of B&W despite the colour we know we are missing. Perhaps that 'tease' is what holds the brain's attention. Outstanding work from the wizard!
Guest 22-Aug-2008 16:29

Nice find!
Do you cool them in the fridge for a while before photographing them?
That way they'll hold still...or so I'm told.
mathilda williams22-Aug-2008 01:10
excellent entry, the B&W enhances this shot tenfold.
