This was taken in the Butterfly Exhibit at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA. It was overcast at the time so most of the butterflies were on the plants, flowers or sides of the greenhouse tenting. It is my first attempt at capturing these with the camera. I tried to keep the lens plane the same as the side of the butterfly but it is difficult in the confines of this exhibit; and I am guessing others like it.
