[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken while on my honeymoon in December 2004, this looked like a composition in space as well as in time to me, when five butterflies and a bee decided to come together in a frame on a flowerbed. (this could loosely be termed as an example of the -decisive moment- pioneered by Henri Cartier-Bresson ... a mixture of chance composition coupled with the ability of the photographer to wait for the right moment) I'm uploading this in a hurry before I leave, ideally, the yellow in the flowers should be desaturated a bit, and yes, I should have exposed for the details on the butterflies, instead of for the flowers. :) btw, this is in Sikkim, in the north east corner of India, just 40 odd kilometres from the Himalayas.

I see only three butterflies... Maybe this is a good riddle :-) Your are right of course - photography of nature and reportage needs a lot od luck as photographer skills too! I like diagonal composition and natural colors.
