Wow this is up close and personal for sure. Excellent informative and interesting. I will never look at a butterfly the same way again.
Amazing detail and focus.
I think our eyes should have the power that a camera has naturally.
Great contender. I wish you the best!

Excellent notes accompanying this macro showing the proboscis of the butterfly and ideal entry for the contest. Very good lighting and focus showing excellent clarity in the markings. I like the uncluttered green background. Great composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Awesome capture of this proboscis all coiled up. The clarity is magnificent. Did you use a macro lens? This is so crisp and clear and a fantastic entry and great contender for the contest.
Love seeing this so clear up close. Best of luck!

Comment from Nancy Montana


This is a wonderful macro photo of a butterfly. To be able to see the proboscis so clearly is amazing and surprising. You can tell that the insect has multiple eyes because the photo is that sharp. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

I really like this subject choice and that you captured the coil. Makes a great pattern and there is a nice amount of detail and the depth looks good.

Such a bizarre close-up and if this a close-up of part of a butterfly[and no reason to doubt it]then this is a remarkable photo,truly a good macro this one and no doubt it will do well in the contest...Brian
