Its a butterfly, not a "rock face" it meant to be soft. However, "One mans meat is another mans poison.
 
Reels, I love this, it's absolutely beautiful! :clap: And I agree, the softness is most appropriate - at least that's my feeling. ;) The colours are gorgeous, I've never seen a butterfly like that, especially all the furry bits and the fringe at the edge of the wings - it's like something out of a dream. :t: This one has gone into my favourites so that I can find it and look at it again. :bounce:
 
Many thanks Rose!! praise indeed, nice to know we at least agree. "nod nod its as good as a wink". cheers.
 
Thanks gmax!! at least it lets you get a reasonable close up at 4mtrs. less chance of disturbing the butterfly. cheers.
