Challenge: Free Study 2019-06 (Standard Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Sony Alpha a7R II
Lens: Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS
Location: Kerzers, Switzerland
Date: Jun 14, 2019
Galleries: Insects, etc
Date Uploaded: Jun 14, 2019

 My 3rd Blue is a FS! I wondered if it would get a better score in the Insects challenge but FS definitely beats a regular challenge and Insects had lots of fine images.

I guess whoever of SC does Validation for this image might be in for a surprise ;)

Stunning! Love, love, love the curve of the stem, and the gorgeous sharpness of the butterfly and flower, and that creamy bokeh to set it all off. Perfect.
