@saeed: Thank you very much, Saeed. I really love it when I can get close enough to get this kind of detail in a macro. There is an even more detailed macro coming up in a few days, but with the same composition as in this photo.

Incredible - this is one of my favorites of your butterflies so far - I love the extreme close up and focus on his face.

@willow: Thank you so much, Willow! I have a feeling that the last photo in this series will become your favorite, as it has become mine.

Just checked back on the posts I've missed, they are all fantastic....but this is superb!

@MaryB: Thank you very much, Mary. But I have to admit that it's hard to not get a good photo when you have a room full of subjects as splendid as these! ;)

I never thought of butterflies as having faces, but, you show me differently. Great detail.

@Anita: Thank you very much, Anita! I love to look for the beauty that is too small for us to normally see...
