Great catch. It ain't easy getting close to a butterfly out in the wild. Nicely captured here. The diagnal composition caught my eye, works really well.

Thanks all! I've been wanting to get more insect shots with the macro lens and was happy to catch this butterfly posing for me! ;-) CJ

I like the glowing wing too, and the composition works very nicely with strong but offsetting, balanced diagonals. -tv

Nicely done Carole the backlight on the butterfly looks really good. A darker background would have been perfect but we don't often if ever get perfect a:-) Well done.
