Ohhh, I DO like it!! That is one of the coolest butterfly pictures I've ever seen. It's that crystal blue, and the detail on his fuzzy feathery stuff on his little head and body. Wow!

You are batting 1,000 with your 2 challenge entries! Keep up the fanTASTIC work, and may ALL your entries be this high scoring :)

What a wonderful speciman. Great find here Patrice! Wish we had these kinds of butterflies around here. The DOF on the wings is a little lacking but overall this is a really good shot. Congratulations on making the top20 for your first challenge photo :)

What a beauty. Love the icy blue with the white and yellow and then the POPS of black. This is that dreamy smooth bokeh I love.
