A little over a year ago I lost a friend, who was a U.S. Marine. While attending his funeral I was sitting next to his young daughter and a butterfly (yellow swallowtail) landed on the shoulder of one of the Marines holding the casket. That butterfly didn't move at all during the entire process of folding his flag. Only after the flag was completely folded and presented to his wife did it finally fly off. The best part of this experience was the fact that this little butterfly was seen by his daughter and gave her comfort that her dad was looking over her. Thanks for reminding me of him and those times I shared with him. We do miss him. Thanks

Well, as no one else has, I will give it a shot. Background distracts me a little, if you can downgrade the purple I think it would help a bit. Also places in background look grainy/noisy to me on this puter, so maybe a noise reduction would help that. The focus on the butterfly is well done, (and btw, overall I like the pic), but the angle seems to be off, most flutterbyes look better with wings all the way open, or at least close - so as one can see the complete wing structure. So, take this for what it is worth - what you paid for it LOL. Hope it helps a little, anyway!
