Very cool capture :-) I'd be honored to have a butterfly calmly sit on my hand.

sorry for the three rank but no matter of the quality I sorry for that word: 'hate' macros when its taken 'on the hand' ... okay maybe you didnt have other chance so you could go for different picture
couldnt you just put it on blossom or actually whatever else would make it better
sorry , dont take it personally ;D

take it easy lol

Lovely detail on the butterfly. A bit too much negative space on the right, and a bit too closely cropped on the left.
