It's better not to mess with a Tiger while it's feeding.

You got this from a prime viewpoint to get the full spread of its wings. Gorgeous color and fine detail that makes these shots so interesting. Very well done.

One thing I've never understood, who decides these designs for the butterflies. They are always to symmetrical and so beautiful.

very nice clarity again but what really captures me on this one is the placement of the butterfly with that pink just above -- as a pair it's great placement in the frame. Such rich, vivid colours.

Funny, is this an ongoing collection of butterfly pics or were you at a butterfly zoo. In their entirety they would make a fantastic book. Another great one.
