Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
May I offer here a very kind word offered me? "CRISP."
This is a truly crisp and beautiful image, and I mean that in all the positive and complimentary ways possible. ;-) I like it, and agree with you and M.E. that it would be even better to see this beauty alive and on the wing.

@Viewfinder: true-true. all of us would have liked this to be on open woods, imagine it! kind regards D
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
A bit a sad picture, so clinical and with numbers, neatly registered poetry.

Lovely butterfly. As I've said on commenting on your post yesterday, it can be very difficult to get clear images in museums. I don't know if you could have avoided the reflection by pressing your lens right up to the glass. Perhaps not, in this case, and I don't want to be too judgmental for the reason I've mentioned above. I would increase the contrast a little, myself, though. In any case, this is very beautiful, so thanks for showing it to us.
