I consider myself lucky to get this shot. Right after I took this picture, butterfly flew away... Slightly cropped and adjusted with PS Elements 2.0

Beautiful macro, Sanjay. The colors, composition and DOF are wonderful. I think you have surpassed my ability in macro shots!I'm in a slump again...my shot from yesterday only received 3 comments all day and I must have made 15-20! Even the regulars who always comment on my work have not been commenting! Today I have a really nice shot posted, but so far it has gone completely unnoticed! I don't understand what I do wrong!
Take care my good friend, Don #865821
