Hey Keith, glad for the post.

In the future, can you take your picture on a solid background?!  The butterflies will drive on-lookers buggy!

No problem!  Thanks for the repost!

We have been there done that with pictures and learning still.  Many times with glass items you have to turn off the flash and take the pic in indirect light or the reflections will ruin the pic.

Light items taken against darker backgrounds.  Dark items against lighter!
