a butterfly at last!

I don't know why but the butterflies in this country very rarely stay still for long enough to photograph, but i finally got one.

cool one mate .... I love the contrast in colours between the butterfly and the flower .....

And I have noticed there is a real lack of butterflys everywhere this year ....

lovely colors!
Could crop it a bit more IMHO but it's good either way!

thanks littleman! i agree about the crop but i'm always afraid of losing resolution, i don't know if there is another solution.

Good shot, lovely greens making the bit of color really stand out.

You won't lose resolution if you crop it... at least not in Photoshop.

This is a beautiful one, dalebe! Very crisp colours! Brilliant. Thanks Mr Butterfly for staying still for just this one (important!) moment .

I'd also suggest a slight crop, though, just so you'd get the butterfly off centre. You would not lose anything in resolution, only would your photo be a little smaller. It is large as it is...

thanks john, littleman and lafoto for your valuable comments, i will try a tighter crop to compare.
