f/3.5, 1/60s, 100 mm (35 mm equiv 159 mm), ISO 400. Detroit Zoo near dusk, thickly overcast. Another entry for JOY. This was taken at the same time as the one entered on Tuesday. I did a color overlay layer.

What a beauty Mary!!! The butterfly has a wonderful glow under his wings almost as though it is being reflected off of the flower. Love your choice of colour for the background. #356172Mary N C. Taitt December 08, 2005
Thanks, Kate, I did that with an orange layer set to overlay. To sort of match and pick up the orange in the wings and flower. Mary :-) #2165442Jenny Bosmans December 08, 2005
