My little 6 yr. old daughter, Arianna, absolutely loves this picture. As soon as she saw it, her first words were, "Mommy, I love that butterfly!!!" Quickly followed by, "Why don't you take pictures like that?!!! ::sigh:: (Is she 18 yet?!!) Anyways, your phenomenal work is beyond inspiring!!!

That butterfly has some amazing colors happening between the reds and the greens. I've been to a few different butterfly habitats and never come across anything like that.

Congratulations Doc. I really like this one, I was the other butterfly that scored 14th. Though I liked mine alot, I liked this one much more. Its seems brighter, happier, and crisper. Executed very nicely with a beautiful Bokeh. Well deserving!

What a majestic profile pose you got from this little wonder. The white body and neon green really make this butterfly "soar" above the rest. Congrats on the blue ribbon and an image likely to be chosen as a favorite many times over.
