yet another butterfly

All critiques/comments most welcome!

It's a unique butterfly, I've never seen one like it. But on a technical note, your point of focus is on the ground and not on the subject. It's something that can happen pretty easily if you have your autofocus set to the wrong setting.

Thanks a lot for your visit, comment and pertinent observation.

it is great that you managed to make a shot of a butterfly, I know how difficult this is

Thanks for your visit and encouragement.

Ranga! I think it is a very nice picture even if the focus is on a ground, because if you look at the picture from a far the butterfly and it's shadow together make another butterfly :). The sparkles of red and yellow really decorate the shadow and draw attention to "the other wing", which I find interesting! All the best, Tamara

Thanks Tamara, yes I was also attracted by the 'form-factor', so much so even though the minimum focus distance of the lens I had was 7ft (500mm lens), I *had* to take a snap.
