We went to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens Saturday. The butterflies in the rainforest room were in full courtship. Unfortunately it was an overcast day, and whey were flirting in the shadows. So the BG in these shots is darker than I like even with the ISO at 1,200 or more.

They were so excited that even with the flash there is wing blur in some of the shots.

It is interesting, the only other person I have ever heard use the term flatteries is my wife Sunhawk :D

Very, very nice series. I, personally, like the darker BG.
Well done!
