monarch and her bush IMG_7078aw

My favourite of your two latest butterfly shots mainly because of the profile which I feel shows off the markings of this Monarch to better advantage.  Arguably a cliche but very nicely done.  With a side-on shot like this it is easy to maintain focus throughout your subject while allowing the background to go comfortably soft.  Nice colours too.  I would have preferred a less centered subject by cropping the negative space on the right but since the butterfly is facing in that direction it needs space to 'fly' into.  I can't see a better crop than what you have here.   Best, LM.
