Barbra,
A beautiful picture of this copper coloured Julia Butterfly her wings outspres as if warming them in the sunlight.
A beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

WOW beautifully colored butterfly. The colors and lines are very clean and crisp. Fab catch on the sitting still of the butterfly.

Your welcome

Beautiful capture of this Julia Butterfly Barbara!
Your focus is pin sharp, exposure/white balance handled well in the bright sun and details are crisp.
Fine work behind your lens ;)

Comment from Envision
You handled the light really well and captured very nice detail of this beauty's markings and color. I like that you timed it to get the full wingspread. The dof and clarity are also very attractive!
