Yay! :) I agree it looks better on the preview!
Yes....more prominent now.
Great spotting, flowntheloop.
I added a more cropped version. Is that any better?
I was wondering if it would look even better if you cropped it a bit....that silvery blue is exquisite.
@SukanyaDatta It is bizarre and beautiful! One of my favorite local butterflies for sure!
Wow. What a lovely colour!
