Stunning shot. Given a choice I would have rotated this by 180 degree. Nevertheless amazing details with such clarity. Well done.

@Ravi: Ravi, that's an excellent suggestion showing an understanding of psychology and the mass consciousness.. something I'm not very good at... the "different drum" syndrome you could say... sometimes I'm thankful and sometimes I'm confused... I simply displayed the photo as it was taken without even thinking...

I like the fact that he's upside-down, actually. It's different and eye-catching. I don't think I've ever seen one of these. Is it a small butterfly? The clarity is absolutely eye-popping.

@Bookfool: Yes this butterfly is pretty small... you have seen them in OK I'm sure... They rarely open their wings at rest though.

This is superb. It's like having 2 heads, confusing the predator.

@JamesC: Thanks, James.
Anita from West Nottingham, United States
Very nice. What happens if you turn the photo?

@Anita: I don't know, I suppose it's similar to people not liking paintings of the south end of a buffalo -- seems they like butterflies in an upward direction.
The Dark Dude from Maestoso, United Kingdom
hey dude
i think people like butterflies the right way up, as most of them are presented in glass cases that way
anyhow duder, this is some real fantastic detail here

@The Dark Dude: I can't believe that you took the time to comment on all those photos... really appreciated. I enjoyed every comment too. As would have once been said in my generation, keep on truckin'.
