This is gorgeous Carm. Did you try a little fill flash with Photoshop on this? I'd like to see a bit more of the butterfly highlighted like the lower wing.

Wow, Carm!! an incredible shot!! Such lovely contrast and such delicious pink flowers in focus and out. No mourning here! Cindy

Your first, Carm, and what a doozy!! Are you sure you didn't just take a fake butterfly and put it in this perfect pose in the perfect location?! I really LOVE this shot!

Such a happy picture, considering all the weeping and mourning!
