Wonderful detail, great photograph…….
Painted lady meets the Camera Lady and MAGIC happens! This is stunningly beautiful, Krys. The butterfly’s details are crisp and clear and perfectly focused while the background provides just the right amount of color and visual appeal without being distracting. LOVELY work! More please!
Thank you Bonnie and thank you too for buying a card! ;o) x
