Beautiful capture! Love the green background and how only the butterfly is in focus. It really emphasizes the focus on the butterfly. Fabulous shot!
Many thanks for your kind words, yes, I am quite please with the background effect, does emphasize the butterfly and is what I’m always trying to achive – that almost 3-D effect..

Wow ! perfect perspective on this,just beautiful
Hi Trudi, thanks for your kind words. I liked the perspective too, I got several other shots from above that, although shoing the lovely wing colours off better, looked a bit flat and lacked the angle and the more pleasing background of this one. Cheers, Pete
Hi Shelly, thank you so much for such high praise, you are too kind and, coming from you, one of my favourite redbubble talents, is all the more appreciated. Pete :)
