A spectacular close up for its great color and minute detail. There is sharp and then there is "this sharp" which I really like! :-) Butterfly close ups don't get any better than this.

Wow, this is spectacular!! I agree with what Don said about the sharpness, and I love the symmetrical framing as well. Excellent shot.
