    Hi Shelly, I’ve had this favourited for some time and thought I’d already commented, but appears not. This is a fantastic close up; beautiful detail, colour of the butterfly against the gorgeous green background (for which you’ve just been featured in beautiful blur). I am envious.
    I see you’ve entered it in Macro Mania challenge (Live, Love, Dream), I’ve put one in too, but up against this, I haven’t a chance. You may well get my vote too :))

  • Shelly Hiebert replied

    ‘Mornin Pete! Yeah I was really hurt that you had never commented on this photo. Lost sleep over it really :( Just kidding! Thank you for the comment now though. A kind and encouraging one as always. If we are up against each other in the Macro challenge, that makes me nervous! Thanks again Pete :)
