Default Little Butterfly/Moth Thing!!!

I went for a walk today down the little oil well road that's across from our house and as I was coming back, I noticed something sitting on a flower thing and when I bent down, it didn't move and I saw it was a butterfly/moth so I pulled my camera out and turned it on and it stayed around for me to take these shots. I'm quite proud of these. They have been cropped slightly so it's closer and the colors been fiddled with to make it more pronounced, but other than that, I never did anything to it.

I think they came out pretty good for a P&S camera.







what do you think?

They came out great Tally Wa and that is a very unusual colour for a butterfly. How nice of him to sit so still for you. Well spotted and well captured.
