Hi Dominique! Thank for providing a cropped picture of this butterfly. One last thing: would you mind swapping the order of the pictures so that the cropped one is first? This is because the first image is the one displayed as thumbnail in the feed and Organisms collection. You can do this in Edit this spotting by dragging the image across. Thank you again, and enjoy your time on Project Noah!

@Cammie: thanks! I didn't realize the shot was against the site's policy (but it makes sense when you think of it). I used an iPhone app called Color splash, which is very easy to use. Cheers. Dom.

Welcome to Project Noah Dominique!
What a lovely photo! Unfortunately we do request that images are cropped so that the focus is on the organism & that human presence is minimized. As a wildlife community we also prefer that the photos shared here are in as natural a state as possible. We appreciate that sometimes some minor improvements are necessary - sharpening, lightening & so on but request that images are not manipulated or the colors changed.
Please could you replace this photo with one that has been cropped so that the butterfly fills the frame. Thanks you!
