The Blue Morph Butterfly is often hard to photograph with its wings open. This one happened to land on a tree and opened its wings. I just took the opportunity to get the shot before he closed his wings.Editing
I think I cropped it a little but not much. I was able to get very close to the butterfly.In my camera bag
At the time, just my camera.Feedback
