I love how the butterfly is so bright and the background fades out. That is so cool

Hi Marianne. This is, once again, a fantastic pic, and some incredible photography underpinning it. I couldn't take my eyes off the shot...such arresting colours! The contrast - the soft-focus
background and the bright main subject - is stunning and perfect.

I wonder if you used a very low depth-of-field value for this, Marianne?

Thanks so much for treating my eyes and heart to this beautiful, beautiful pic! Your work is such a treat for the senses, always!
