Maria- Isn't it so extra special when the lighting and the background do our work for us and give us this kind of gorgeous results. In some ways its so simple, but oh the colors and the beauty of the butterfly take over and delight our eyes. What a thrill it must be to work around this beauty every day. I always think of butterflies as hand painted by God. Their colors and markings a work of art. A lovely capture my dear friend.Sharon C. Hinze October 21, 2010
