Monarch

Please critique.

seems as if the butterfly is going to fly away out of the frame. Excellent macro.

una foto che avrei voluto far io

spettacolare i cromatismi

complimenti

Terrific composition, colors, and overall appeal. Very well done, Ken!

Very nice colors and appealing placement in the frame.

Very high quality image reflecting the beauty of nature. I like the balance between the butterfly and the flower.

 

I wonder why we call them butterflys? Do they like butter? Strange name if you think about it.

Great macro work, bravo.

Howard because they are diurnal and an order of Lepidoptera best explains it.

 

Ken thanks for lookin at my pics. The comp here is certainly "in your face"...quite bold and dof effect is very complimentary. Very good.

I love the colors in the wings and the flower petals ... they go well together, and you've captured the tonal differences well! The only nit pick I'd have (and this is a TOTAL nit pick!!) is that you snipped off the tips of the bottom petals of the flower. My eye wishes that the entire flower were contained in the frame.

Great Color. Nice n sharp for handheld at 100mm 1/60! I can never hold that steady. Beautiful picture. - Randy Pease

Great capture. Good sharpness for handheld shot.

Good shot, Ken! The whole thing has worked out well from the positioning right through to the background.

Ken- beautiful composition, color and well defined subject. DOF is beautiful!

Great photo, and a really effective composition, congrats, 7/7

A very fine photo (6,6). I'll need to repeat a complaint about butterfly photos that I insinuated on RE's Tiger Swallowtail.

The topside of butterfly wings is more beautiful than underside. I hope to eventually capture a 4th UV color (as butterflies see themselves) of many in open wing glides.
