Bright day handheld shot of Yellow Sulphur (I think) butterfly. Any

help with more specific ID of butterfly would be greatly

appreciated!

--nice catch, Greg. If you remember, however, the topside of the wings are more colorful than the underside ----a 3/4 turn half open wing position

is the best in my opinion to capture both surfaces. They won't take 'Ques' very well so we must take what we can get unless you just wana burn half a roll quickly hoping one will do that in the process. ;-)) Again, nice shot. The 'orange

sulphur ' would have been even a better prize on the color of coneflower you have.;-)

Greg, Only a no-pro viewer, but I know I like this! For me, the subtle shades and softness of underwing are accentuated beautifully by type and colour of flower. Noted your PS work - great job.
