The Eyes Have It*
by Terry Straehley

Santa Barbara, CA USA

The local Natural History Museum has an exhibit, called "Butterflies Alive." A large number of different species of butterflies are in a building with airlock doors at each end. One can go in and take pictures to one's heart's content. This is one from last year.

Thanks for the added info, Terry... it would be great to see something from you in "eligible" too.

I'm glad you like the shot. I went out today, and if they turn out will have some "Eligible" ones later today or tommorrow. This is the second year they have had this. It is open from May until September 11 (this year). More information athttp://www.sbnature.org/exhibits/butterflies/ if you are anywhere near Santa Barbara.

Beautiful color and lighting, Terry...very interesting "micro" detail on the butterfly's head, eyes, and back. Well composed/cropped...nice DOF on that flower in the background. Nice macro shot...very up-close and personal. I'd love to visit a place like that. Is it open all year long, or is it a seasonal exhibit? MFC
