Sky View Butterfly

Butterflies! A new area for you. This is my favorite: beautiful expanse against the open sky with terrific detail.

There were literally hundreds of them flying around yesterday. Today it's very chilly, high of about 50 (yeah, well it's S Texas "chilly") and very rainy, so no butterflies today.

Yesterday there were hundreds of butterflies; hard to resist taking

a picture! Comments?

Excelente imagen macro de gran belleza, perfecta luz y color, gran encuadre y magnifica composicion, saludos cordiales KIM.

Very nice work with a remarkable point of view, Kim! Best regards, Ruud.

Ah, a refreshing point of view here. Nice one. Even the landing-pad is different than most.

P.S. Just looked to see what lens you used - love your copyright!

Very good exposure,DOF and composition,Kim. To me the butterfly is taking off from Texas to relams of Beauty.

In the original, the body was very dark. I made a layer to expose correctly for that and combined it with the original layer, allowing the wings and sky to come through with that exposure.

Very nice angle Kim, original composition, aesthetically pleasing shot.

 

Regards

You did a great job at letting the sky come through. Provides a really nice background for the shot. Did you hand-hold this? Cheers.

1/1000, f11, 105mm, ISO 200, hand-held, Barry. It was a pretty bright day.

Kim, great job with adjusments but you started with at great capture. Well done, Dave

I love this, too. (and your copyright)
