Summary

Photographer Harold Feinstein has an unusual gift for finding exquisite details in nature and turning them into mesmerizing works of art. After years of devoting himself to creating a distinctive form of flower imagery (and to successfully licensing these images through books, calendars, posters, and fine-art prints), Feinstein now turns his lens to a subject of equal beauty and appeal--butterflies. In one hundred photographs he will capture a wide range of butterfly varieties - reflecting the explosion of colors and patterns that occur in nature.
