Butterfly ETSOOI

I have been wanting to photograph this type of butterfly for so long. It feels like there is just one here, but that's obviously silly. They really never hold still, flying loops around the house, and when they land on a flower they keep fluttering always.

Finally I had one actually spend like half a minute hovering over these flowers and I managed one snap that was almost OK. Soooo I decided I could salvage what wasn't quite perfect by applying ETSOOI and this is where I finally stopped. Hope you enjoy!
