... I'm guessing.

Only the right side behind the butterfly was cropped out to avoid "negative space".

The wings on this guy are very striking in appearance. Very unusual! And good stalking to get that close to a small, active butterfly.

Don't what others would think but those backgrounds seem quite befitting for a butterfly. Wonderful shots and I agree with Mike on those wings.

Thanks guys.

This butterfly has really extraordinarily shaped wings.

A very beautiful photo Nikola. What I find striking is the dull brown color of the BF mixed with the super bright colors of the flowers...makes a wonderful contrast IMO. The colors are so bright, they are shining up onto the butterflies` abdomen

Yes Doug, very contrastable, isn't it? Thanks.
