Description butterflies.
They never make a sound.
Only perhaps when they are killing someone.

The shot is great, as always. The butterly itself is beautiful, the bright yellow color just makes it look as if it was made of light, especially when the sun shines right at it and makes the wings look transparent, the way it is in the photo. And the deep blue background with streaks of diffuse soft light gives a feeling of unreality, freedom and space to the picture....as if it were made on some unknown planet, or as if the flower and the butterfly were the only thing that ever existed, and beyond them there was only some vast expanse of outer space. Makes them look all the morre special and beautiful.

Butterflies are so gentle. When I was in my early teens, I used to make a small shelter for them on the balcony, and bring to it those of them which I found wounded or weak. I fed them with a mixture of water and sugar or honey. I was so happy if they recovered and flew away .....

Peace.

Stunning, I lovelove this photo! The texture of the butterfly's wing and the flower, the lighting, the dark background that emphasizes the subject, the shadowy flower stem, the angle, the crop... this is just wonderful!

Sure they seem so silent, pretty, and innocent.
Meanwhile, they keep causing tornados on the other side of the world everytime they flap their wings.

Not so cute now are they. (yeah, ok. So I'm in an odd mood today)

Very nice photo, though. You always seem to find the perfect moments in time to capture and share.

The color scheme is magnificent. I probably wouldn't be saying that if there weren't a faint blue tinge in the upper-left hand corner that appears to streak in the direction of the butterfly and flower, which are not only interesting shapes, but wonderful colors too. Supercool.
