Hi Anne,
Nice photos you have here as well. Lovely colors too.
I like the contrast of colors here with the black and green and the red detail.

Wow, very nice shot. The butterfly is really interesting. I don’t think I ever saw a black butterfly. The details you managed to capture there are great and the greenish background makes the black of the butterfly really pop…

Such detail…I do like how it’s perched just at the top of the leaf as it you caught it right before it took off. The contrast of colors with the natural green and what may not be appear to be so natural with the black and red. Very cool.
