AWESOME capture, Melanie. And captured in the wild and not in a butterfly sanctuary makes it even more special. Getting this much clarity and detail on a hand held shoot, you're the best. Just gorgeous, GF. #946697

Wonderful capture Melanie, your light, pov, color and clarity are beautiful. Butterflies are a photographer's blessing no matter where you capture them. This is truly a beautiful presentation. #6093120

Melanie- Good morning my dear friend. A most beautiful presentation of this swallow tail. I love what you wrote and agree with you. I always felt that God took each butterfly and hand painted them himself. To look at butterfly wings, sunsets, and sunrises and not think of God is unconceivable to me. Your picture is sharp and clear. The lighting reflects the beautiful sunshiny day you had. Colors that dazzle the eyes and compliment each other. Definition of the butterfly wings and the unique markings dominatied the picture with stunnings features.
Sensational work
You have yourself a most wonderful day, take care, enjoy, keep that camera snapping.
