Very very awesome capture. The background isn't distracting at all and the butterfly is so vibrant that it wouldn't matter anyways. I love the composition. I was reading the comments and thought yeah fricken hell she should have won first then saw your comment and that's really cool that you won both. I just cannot get over the vibrant colors of the butterfly they are amazing.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment yea I can't believe I took first and second although I didn't enter this time because I didn't have any new photos and none of my older ones were good enough to enter.

Hmm somehow I kind of doubt that your older pictures weren't good enough Good luck on further contests though.

What a neat butterfly! The dullness of the brown and brightness of the green must make it really easy for that little guy to camoflage himself in leaves.
