it is a lovely photo

Congrats on the new camera! The gray looks wonderful with the purple flowers.

What a great photo!

awwww this brings back memories. We released I think 150 butterflies at my wedding and it was so beautiful! Great capture here

Lovely idea...

What a fascinating looking creature! Between the eye patterns and the "legs," it seems to have an edge on not getting eaten by birds. Beautiful focus, the details are nice and clear!

wow..! are such butterfly found in nature...! have not seen in NGC or Discovery channel even lol awesome if its living !

I promise it's living or, better, it was living at the time I made the shot. Butterflies live but few days. This was in a "live butterfly hall" within a museum. People could walk inside and butterflies would sometimes land on their heads. A great variety of butterflies. I even happened to be there to see a butterfly coming out of the cocoon. Great experience.

Very different type, I've never seen any like that before!

Butterfly with attitude, lovely. Seems to have plenty of detail, you could afford to crop it quite a lot closer.
