Beautiful image of the new butterfly Kathleen, very sharp and well saturated colour.
A question Kathleen, your scans are superb, although I have Canon gear I use a Nikon scanner. I seem to get too much grain, any tips please?
Regards,
Peter.

Beautifully captured Kathleen. Like a work of art I think.
Wonderful sharpness, and the colours stand out brilliantly against the BG.
