[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken in Key West, Florida at the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. They have between 50-60 different species from around the world, all under a climate controlled, glass enlosed habitat. All of the butterflies at the conservatory come from butterfly farming operations and are not taken from the wild. It really is quite impressive. We were a bit nervous, though, as they tell you before you go in to watch where you walk as the butterflies often like to sun themselves on the walkways. I was so scared we might step on one of these beautiful creatures! We didn't, although one did manage to scare me a bit by landing on my shoulder. My natural instinct was to swat at it, but I restrained myself, reminding myself that it was a butterfly, not some other insect. Sharpened and ran through NeatImage.

Beautifull catch! With a fantastic combinaison color. The 3 basic colors on that picture complete others very well!

I'm back for the points!!

This is great. You are well kept secret, hadn't seen you til now.

Such a beautiful specimen, thanks so for the great note.

Such clarity, I love the colors here, and the contrast from the black and white butterfly against the red flower.

Not sure I like the frame. Am a person who doesn't like or do frames, so that could just be my personal slant, but...

Nice to see you here, you cat lover you.

Beautiful picture! Theres so much detail and sharp color. The patterns on the butterfly's wings are amazing.
