Great close up of the butterfly against the flower. Almost from the bugs eye view. Excellent detail. Thanks for sharing. .

Great point I was Wondering someone would ask this very question. well its not for the feww cents we make for doing a review. So it must be my blunt way of trying to help people to be a better artist. Yes I was a little blunt and hard on you. Yes as far as a butterfly and flower gos this is good. But Im trying to steer you in a new dirction as plenty of others are allready doing this. so What Im saing is photograth something that not everyone is doing. Didnt mean to upset you here. Take a look at my more and you will see something different. Thanks for the great Question and have a great day.

This reminds me of the movie The Fly, the fly is so spookly looking and the flower looks like a space creature. No more 6s this week. Cyn
