A fine look at this Buckeye, Allen. They don’t usually let me get over them like that, so this is nice. Very nice pose that she gave you on the leaves. Wonderful details throughout the BF. Right off I can’t think of anything that would improve the image.

One of my favorite butterflies; I saw my first one just today. A fine look at this one with good details and color. Nice capture.

A perfect specimen! Wow. I think I’ve seen these, or similar species, flitting about in the woods, but they never sit still enough for me to even look at them never mind take a picture. The subtle color shifts and changes are nicely done here. Even though they’re common, they’re still special and I’m a bit green with envy.
