Swallowtails Eaglecreek2 small

Not sure if the angles work. Also I shot this at ASA 800, I wonder if

the color saturation is enough. Image is a straight shot, no processing.

i think there is good saturation but somehow its too crowded around the butterfly (right one). congratulations!

Beautiful.  Natural and sharp.  Best Regards,

Douglas,

I really like this photo. I have spent quite some time trying to capture these butterflies in my yard and they are always seeming to fly away just as I grab focus. I am impressed that you captured two of them with such good focus. 

I like the composition and I like the detail in the thistle flower. I feel like the color saturation could be turned up a little bit, it might be my monitor but the photo feels a little bit muted. The swallowtails in my area at least are usually such a vibrant yellow with bright little orange and blue spots on the sides. 

I really like how nicely rendered the background is the solid dark green really helps make the subjects pop.

Cheers,

Kyle
