Artist's Comments

I uploaded this shot back in 2004 sometime, when I was into the macro "craze" for a bit... Well, I wanted to crop the shot to fit the rule of thirds better and so I'm uploading the photo again here.

The way I got the butterfly to land on my finger was by dipping my index finger in honey and holding it up to the flower where it was poised. Once it landed on my finger, it stayed there for quite a while sucking up the honey, giving me enough time to focus and get a nice macro shot of it.

Enjoy.

A recent survey stated that the average person's greatest fear is having to give a speech in public. Somehow this ranked even higher than death which was third on the list. So, that means people would rather be the dead guy then the one giving the eulogy?

Very nice macro, but I think that there is too much focus on the finger, and I would better see it on the wings of this fly.

that explains why your ridge pattern is so clear and the reflection off of your finger lol

But beautiful shot
