Brian, this is a beautiful butterfly, I really appreciate its colors, the Browns, pinks, orange , yellow , white and red and black detail on the wings edge, I like this side profile view as it rests on the green leaf,nice detail in the wings, body, head and legs, clear antennas. This is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones appear natural.well composed with nice placementbin the frame. Well presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

a wonderful close Brian up of this blue morpho Butterfly (morpho pelleides) with closed wings, displaying his "eyes"; I hope you got a pic with open wings;
excellent sharp focus with natural colors;
