Very nice Nikola. Beautiful pictures...I like the gray background in the first one...very sharp.

Very nice! I like theway the frosty white coloring on the butterfly is mirrored by the white stem. I think I like #1 the best also. But... #2 really shows off the butterfly!

A nice set of images Nikola, however, I am wondering about the flower that the butterfly is resting on, do you know what kind it is. I have seen something the same or similar to it here in North Carolina.

I'm still in searching for right ID, Ken. Any help will be appreciated.
