Comment from Daphne Oberon
This photo has divine composition and colors! I love this butterfly's makings and dash of pink on the pretend "jib wings"! Beautiful photography of one of nature's wonders! My admiration!! Daphne Oberon

They say you can't improve on Nature, but the placement of this butterfly on that particular flower serves to amplify the natural beauty of both flower and insect. Good composition and use of light - well done.

Comment from Linda Wetzel
This is a beautiful butterfly. The deep purple veins that outline its beige wing design is lovely. I like the bright coral patches on the inside of the upper wings. The torn wing makes me feel sad.

Thought Mormons were a type of religious people! Never heard of a butterfly with such a name before!! Your nice image benefits from being well composed, with good exposure and sharpness. Well done!

Nice clear shot. I love the dew on the plants and the flare of pink on the wings adds to the pink in the flower. Overall it's a great photo. Nice presentation.

A superb photo of a gorgeous butterfly, obviously not common in the USA. The wings are perfectly positioned for optimum viewing, and the butterfly even chose a blossom that complements his colors!

Comment from ArtistCharles
Beautiful butterfly with interesting design in its wings. Almost like stained glass. I like that you chose to show on a bias line which adds interest to the shot. Nice colors and details throughout. Well captured.
