@ the Museum of Natural History in NYC, there is a live butterfly exhibit... Set-up, as close as possible, to their natural habitat. These two are mating. They didn't move for over an hour. Just pointing their antennae upward toward the light. Can almost see their ecstasy. I purposely didn't crop to emphasize them, does it work?

Personally, i like the space around them. I think a "tighter" image would have been too clinical, certainly a different emphasis --and I like it as it is.

@Twelvebit: Tx for the visit Twelvebit..What kind of a name is that..Give me a meaning?? I know I'm nosey, and pushy?? LOL.. Clinical , no I didn't want to be clinical here.. Glad you like it..
Twelvebit (or 12 Bit) is a reference to digital photography --the normal bit size of a RAW file --12 bit as opposed to 8 bit RGB color files.
