Blue Morphos are a very attractive species of Butterfly and your photo showing both the 'above' and the 'below' coloration of it's large wings looks Great! : )

Quite a nice butterfly shot posted here! Each is benefits from a good, almost central exposure giving us a grand look at them. Your sharpness and exposure are fine in both cases. Well done and good luck!

The iridescent blue of the wings is extraordinary.

I like how you presented this via a collage. Seeing only the closed wing version I would never have guessed that they are one and the same.

Excellent DOF. All aspects of the creature and surroundings are

A very interesting, well presented and educational capture.

Good luck in the contest ... B-)) Bob

These are both very good photos of the Blue Morpho. I went to a butterfly house last week and tried to catch a photo of one with its wings open but they would not cooperate! Lucky you! I like the overall clarity of both photos, and great idea to put them side by side.

A beautiful presentation that shows both the top side and the underwing in superb detail. The colors are eye catching but accurate. Best of luck in the contest.

A great pair of pictures capturing both views of what could easily be a totally different butterfly - both captured at good angles and the colours are beautiful and detailed - a really lovely picture(s) - good luck!
