In a field of many lovely photos, this one stood out from the first time I viewed it. Perfectly framed and composed, the colors ensure the butterfly stands out in all its glory! It's always critical to have the subject pin sharp on a desktop computer and this photo achieves that as well. I could frame this for my wall easily. Congratulations on First Place in Butterflies!

Capturing a butterfly in motion is challenging at best, but this photo does it well. The extremely high shutter speed certainly helped as well as a long focal length to capture from a distance. The result is an enchanting photo with the butterfly and its flowers against a lovely muted background. Congratulations on your Top 10 achievement in Butterflies!
This lovely image is not only beautifully balanced but the colors blend so well as to be aesthetically pleasing. It is well done technically, with spot on sharpness of the gorgeous butterflies, standing out against the solid background. Definitely worthy of a print for a wall! Congratulations on your Top 10 achievement in Butterflies!

Of course a dedicated photographer would be out in the rain to capture this beautiful photo! The butterfly is in focus and the eye is drawn right to it, against the muted and blurred background with raindrops. The colors blend perfectly as well. Congratulations on your Top 10 achievement in Butterflies!
