So beautiful!!

Beautiful. I specially like the curved lines which seem to be everywhere in the image. I also like the color scheme.
The posture of the butterfly and the Point of view is also very good and unusual. It appears as though the butterfly is in the act of a hypnotising dance!
Great Shot.
Alessandro
Very beautiful indeed. Outstanding picture. Many compliments.
Ann
Beautifully detailed.
Reuben Chircop
Very nice capture. The photo is just magnificent and the blur is just fine making the photo look in motion. It is incredible how nature manages to seduce us to get shots like these.
Great work.
Keith
A lovely image and a worthy POTD. Congratulations.
Pauline Jones
You have the focus on the eyes, which is the most important thing. It probably would have benefited from a little cropping in order to bring the creature into close up, but you have a lovely shot, well done.

Fantastic!

Great photo, just shows that you don`t always have to use the rule of thirds as this is smack bang in the centre. I like how you have blurred the wings.

Looks as if the butterfly has neon lights attached to its wings.

I wish I could do that, it’s so beautiful! You know, I just discovered this site and I’m already in LOVE with all these wonderful pictures! It’s an amazing idea, putting up a site like this. Is there a button somewhere so you can get a random picture? I want to keep looking!
