Thanks everyone.

This shot was really tough, as it was taken inside the Detroit Zoo's Butterfly Exhibit. It's hot in there and the Butterflies are zipping around like they have had to much caffeine..

Plus, there's lot's of people around at all times...

I took about 15 shots in there and this one came out the best.

Comment by Marston:
Great Shot ,but I found Your background too messy.If it had been possible I think that you should have cut out the leaf going right across the picture which would have given your butterfly more space and the bright leaf coming into the frame from the top which I found very distracting.I know these things are not easy to do at the time but I always cary a small pair of scissors.
Congrats on top ten placing.

Heh, looks like you have a fan on the comment below. Congrats on the Top 10, sorry it just missed 5th! I saw this shot and thought it was quite good. Anytime I see a comparable shot to the one I enter I worry. This one had me worried a lot.
