Blue Morpho - Morpho peleides- Side View

You can see some streaks of the vibrant blue showing through the tears in its wings.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you all have a great day,

@eddy: Thank you very much, Eddy. I try to get my macros as well-defined as possible. I delete a great deal of photos that aren't as well-focused as I would like.

Joy from Ahmedabad, India

i am surprised you could capture such crisp photograph at such low ISO

@Joy: Thanks, Joy. I'm really impressed with what this little Nikon point and shoot will do; even after I get a DSLR (probably the Canon Rebel XSi) I'll still carry this P5100 with me everywhere. It's so light and convenient, and I really like the images I get from it!
