 This is not really shot 'in the field' to be honest, but in the butterfly greenhouse of Rotterdam ZOO. It's full of lovely colored creatures, flying right around your head.

This one wasn´t the prettiest bug I shot by far, but I just liked the way the little fella looked right at me.

hardly any PP: dust removal; crop; levels; sat; resize; sahrpen

title is a lyric (Rush; Xanadu)

Nice, but I would cut the bottom of this, so you don't see that very dark space under the leaves, it takes too much attention.
