Great shot, WF. love the warm colurs, details of the tail, structure and leaf it rests upon. Did you use focus stacking for this result? Posted 12 years ago

  Thanks! I like this one too. It is the same butterfly on both photos. I took several photos, but I haven't combined them - it is a single shot. Posted 12 years ago
