Wonderful photo! It was difficult to make a choice in the challenge. It is a pity that it is impossible to choose several winners, but I try to be as fair as possible. Composition, sharpness and uniqueness are important. Thank you for the aesthetic pleasure!

Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated. When somebody else wins it is likely because it was more impressive and that’s fine with me. 😀

Location
I captured this image in the Isle of Mainau near Constance in Germany in a butterfly conservatory. To capture butterflies is especially difficult as they never stay long, are rarely in a still position and move on quickly. I was lucky I guess.Time
Mid afternoon indoorsLighting
Capturing butterflies is a difficult undertaking as they tend to move fairly quickly and never rest for extended times. It was taken indoors on a sunny day in a butterfly coservatory.Equipment

With butterflies you don’t really have much time and act quickly and this one was very patient with me. He stayed.Editing

Patience is key. You might have to take 100 shots to get a single one which turns out like this one. Persistence pays off.
