Default Just a Butterfly.

Hi All at DPS.. I went for a walk today round the woodlands of Ingol Golf Course. As well as a Golf Course, the area around it has footpaths with lovely woodlands. There are more on my flickr, but I just thought this one was a good start. Hope you enjoy.

Butterfly

Thanks for looking.

Jake

Legend has it, that if anyone wants a wish to come true they must capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since they make no sound, they can't tell the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit. So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly it will be taken to the heavens and be granted.

Beautifully captured Jakester, make a wish buddy

Just a butterfly? That's understated. Nice job Jake. The textures on the laef and the butterfly's wing are wonerful. TNX for sharing it.

Hi Jake, Like the others said before me, the exposure is great with just the right amount of light and great detail of the butterfly as well as the veins with the leaf it self...nice job.....any pictures of the course itself or golfers swinging?

I also love the way the veins stand out on the leaf..nice contrast between that and the butterfly...nice work.
