I was at a butterfly sanctuary in Aruba a couple of weeks back, and you could photograph something similar. Only problem is I had an eleven month old with me and couldn't afford the time.

Your patience paid off because it's an amazing series.

How very cool to be able to sit and watch this!! I like the shot - nice use of what I assume is a texture overlay.

They are such good looking critters! I like that you have catchlights in all the eyes, too.

This is just incredible and the fact that you took the time and patience to watch and document this speaks to who you are as a person. One who is just enjoying the beauty of life. It is a wonder to see the butterfly emerging especially because of the things that a butterfly represents including change, new life, second chances. Thank you!

I love your idea of a composite for presenting this magical progression. I should be able to follow the flow time wise but I'm actually not sure - I think it's 4 across the top, then the two little ones in the middle, then the 4 across the bottom. Right? Thanks for taking the time to document this and now to share it.
