| My little 6 yr. old daughter, Arianna, absolutely loves this picture. As soon as she saw it, her first words were, "Mommy, I love that butterfly!!!" Quickly followed by, "Why don't you take pictures like that?!!! ::sigh:: (Is she 18 yet?!!) Anyways, your phenomenal work is beyond inspiring!!! |

| That butterfly has some amazing colors happening between the reds and the greens. I've been to a few different butterfly habitats and never come across anything like that. |

| Congratulations Doc. I really like this one, I was the other butterfly that scored 14th. Though I liked mine alot, I liked this one much more. Its seems brighter, happier, and crisper. Executed very nicely with a beautiful Bokeh. Well deserving! |
