Monarch Butterflies - Butterfly In Flight

Comments and contructive critiques are welcome. This was the best of

about 50 shots of Monarch Butterflies that day.

very well done. Ciao

Very nice compo and colours. It is just beautiful.

Please rate this image if you get the urge!

Thanks, J.

The first time i see a butterfly "flying"! Very beautiful photo.

(Thanks for your comment on my photo's. I was just thinking about selling them for the use of postcards. I have no clue where to start, and allthough i come from a "business-family" i am not a business-person at all! I will try to get some information about the subject :) Thanks again for your encouraging words.)

you must have waited awhile to get this shot. it is easy to take a photo of a butterflies when they are still but difficult to take it when they are in flight. the colors of the butterflies complement the color of the flower. may i know what time of day you took this shot?

thanks.

Gina, It was late afternoon and overcast. On this particular day (September in Massachusetts) there were many a Monarch butterfly in the area, dozens. I did not have to wait long to catch some in flight.

Very nice capture!

Thanks for the comment Didi.
