Good shot...i like the tones...At this moment i am thinking in places here in my city where i could find insects like this to shot some macros...I am learning macros and it seems very nice to practice.

Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.

Very nice picture. I really like the shallow depth of field and the composition of this shot! The honey bee is great too!

Sepia works well with this. Nice pic.

Great shot - the Sepia really works on this one. I really should give it a try (gave bw a try recently with little success). I see your macro lens is working out well.

Gorgeous. I really liked the color version, but the sepia tone brings out the delicacy of the flower and butterfly even better.

Reducing the colors to sepia tone makes this beautiful! The emphasis is the grace and athleticism of the butterfly instead of the gaudy colors.

Hello, Jill! I'm new to your blog and I can't tell you how impressed I am with the precision and delicacy of your vision. Well done!

That sepia tone really makes the moment look antique, other worldly, and so beautiful. Great job!
