 Bugs are wildlife as far as I'm concerned. You can't domesticate butterflies. Isn't she pretty? :)

Edit: Crop, resize, brightness/contrast using levels, lowered the green hue level and upped the red a bit, sharpened and then burned the brightest wing a tad.

What a wonderful butterfly! Here in England I have seen so few this summer, so it is lovely seeing photos of them! i appreciate the way you have included the plant to give context, but in this instance, I do feel that the composition could be strengthened by cropping a little more from the top.

seems to have the same problem as the other rice paper butterfly (they looks quite big) - the farthest edges of the wings are oof.

One of my fave subjects....butterflies. Nicely shot with the wings in that angle. It's an unusual angle to catch them in from the traditional shots. Very nice. 8

""wildlife" should be considered non-domesticated mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians living in a natural environment"

Sorry... I don't think it met the challenge topic... but it's pretty :)
