Absolutely incredible as usual. He actually looks like he's smiling for the camera. Nice bokeh in the background. Personally I think this could have won a monthly freestudy entry....in color or B&W. I do agree, I think I like it better in B&W as well.

This is special on so many levels - I love it! Perfect DOF captures the brilliant perspective of the leaf, framed by the background bokeh. The butterfly actually looks like (s)he's striking a pose and looking into the lens! Awesome shot.

Hi Sandi,

Iam currently in the Philippines in a Gloria Jeans Coffee shop in the middle of Tacloban City, a very poor region of this area. We are here to speak at some pastors conferences and churches.

Despite the super slow wireless connection here, I just had to comment on this superb image and how this little guy/gal has locked in to your Canon 70-200 2.8 lens! I LOVE this, and had to congratulate you on your much deserved BLUE!

Not only did you get a Blue but also a PB so double congratulations!

Enzo - on assignemnt in The Philippines!

Sandy, you got another winner. There are alot of positives here: the diagonal lines lead the eye into the frame, the lines on the butterfly lead the eye back to the center of the image, the lines on the leaf lead the eye to the center of the image, the range from white to black is great. The only downside is the sparkles in the background, but that is very minor.
