 lyric from "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"

Couldn't decide between this title and "Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies..." from "Mother Nature's Boy".

I finally got a decent shot of a zebra swallowtail! These little guys are quick and elusive! HA

Perfect butterfly shot! Should have placed higher.

Lovely tones, I do like the blurred background, and think perhaps this was probably under-rated due to lyrical choice vs that of titles. It's dead on for the lyrics, though, and definite eye candy!

Would be very appealling even without the butterfly.. With it... and in sharp focus, it's great.

Love the soft focus. Very dreamy. The purple is a bit distracting to me, though.

Ha! The only one to use this lyric. Very well done! Great colors; excellent use of DoF (and control). The setting with the butterfly make a perfect backdrop for the lyric and the whole mood of the song. I really love the contrast between the butterfly and the background - much better than the other interpretations of this song. Well done! Love it!

This is a great capture of a butterfly, but it's a bit of a stretch for the lyric.
