Excellent close up, full of detail and clarity. It's nicely sharp, well exposed and composed. It just seems odd that you have such uniform background in what seems a shot of nature taken in the nature.

    Thank you so very much! The blue is water.

Yes indeed, you brought us in nice and close with this one. Love the way you cropped and framed this image with the flower in one corner, butterfly in the lower corner, and blue sky in the upper right. Excellent composition and really shows the detail of this butterfly going after the nectar. Excellent work on it!

Great extreme macro! No detail is lost at all in this photo; everything pops, which I love, and the simple background is the icing on the cake. Awesome capture!

This is interesting... this is what art is all about, images like these. I love the contrast and concept of this image. It really tells a story.

Great light, presentation, and initial impact.

Very well done!

Love it, a super close up on this swallowtail as it is drinking the sweet nectar. Very good focus, frame and a clean and clear bg. Top shot.

Very attractive shot of a flower and butterfly. I like the perspective and how you have framed it filling most of the frame with the subjects. Focus is spot on. A great macro image.

It is an extremely close up view of the flower and the butterfly. Nice detail on both subjects. They are fun to watch going from flower to flower getting the nectar with their skinny tongues. Good impact. The best of luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing.

This is a terrific and opportunistic capture. The colors are intense and the focus is good allowing the viewer to make sense of what is a difficult image to decipher. Nicely done.
