Wow, this is a really awesome shot! Its so artistic and almost looks like a painting!

Well done, for the sharp focus, these are fast little flyers and you have captured this beautifully!

Love the composition and the DOF!

Great camera work!

This is absolutely exquisite image of this little butterfly called Cocoa and Cream. I name creatures around my house also. The lighting is just extraordinary, and the clarity and focus into the detail is so impressive. What a fine work you have done. Beautiful capture and creative presentation. Superb!

Cocoa & cream with green tea...
A very sharp capture you could almost feel how he coiled his 'tongue'.
I like the yellow green needle-leafed plant accentuating the earth tones. Very impressive dark backdrop giving focal attention for the subject to pop out! No flaws here. Just perfect.

Thanks for sharing.

An appropriate title, I like your composition, though some may complain about the chopped antennae. Good work on eliminating distractions in the background. Color work looks painterly. Good luck in the contest.

This fine butterfly portrait has wonderful clarity. I especially like being able to see the row of breathing holes along the abdomen. I don't know the species either, but this looks like it might be in the Danaid family.

The is beautiful! It's so hard to get pictures of butterflies and you did a really nice job! The green is so bright. The picture isn't blurry at all. Look great!
