Broken Wing

Poor little butterfly was flapping around this morning, and still at the same place this afternoon, but I suspect won't make it thru the night. Such beautiful fall colors, I couldn't let him pass unremembered.

This macro stuff is hard!! A deepened respect for those who do it so well, one of my favorites is Dang: http://www.pbase.com/dang/image/63808972

I think I broke pbase by uploading the original size, sorry. Need to practice more :)

Dang's work is impressive but this is second to none. Not only is the technical macro part flawless, but you've created a lovely, graceful design as well. Very nice work, of course.
