Sweet Nectar by Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo

“While visiting a butterfly heaven, this pretty individual offered me her profile featuring a perfectly coiled up proboscis at feeding time”

Artist statement
My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens. I never lure my animated subjects to come close to me: spontaneity is the key.

This is an original uncropped image.

Thank you, Ella. I appreciate your comment. Nature inspires me so much that I, in turn, wish to inspire by sharing these conspicuous treasures with you all.

Fantastic – haven’t seen a shot with a profile like that. Very cool.

Thank you, Andrea, for taking a moment to comment on my work. Sometimes chance brings a surprisingly beautiful moment to capture with the lens. I was lucky, too, when I captured the pretty crow in flight in “Magnificent Crow” …
