Black Swallowtail Butterfly ~ papilio polyxenes
Oh how I would have loved this little beauty to have been perched on a prettier background... nonetheless he did my heart a joy when he continued to dance around landing here and there as if begging me to capture him and him alone :-)

on August 25, 2009a beauty and very nicely shot. the colors of the jellyfish were what drew me to it and are just as i saw them. for pp i upped the contrast to define its edges and bring them out a bit and cleaned glare spots is all
