Okay, so there was a butterfly on my butterfly bush but it stayed away from the cicada! The Common Buckeye is recognized by its prominent eyespots that likely serve to startle or distract predators, especially young birds.
Composition, colour and especially the light are so gorgeous here, it's an instant fav for me. I also looked at the uncropped version--I like it too, but agree with you that this one is better. Sometimes it's so hard to choose!
Fav for this one :)
I love everything about this, the colors, composition, pov, dof!!!!

The light and colours are lovely.
