Monarch on her throne

I don't actually know what type of butterfly this is. It is similar to a

monarch but not quite the same. If anyone can tell me, I would be

thrilled. Thank you for your time and thoughts.

Can't tell you what kind of butterfly it is but your image is very nice. Great colors and composition. Regards, Jean-Marc

Excellent. Wonderful capure with beautiful colors in the background. No idea about the type of butterfly. Best regards.

Hi Sonia- not sure of the variety, but you did a great job capturing it. Another great macro. All my best- Jim

Very good one and so pleasantly,I think is from Family Papilionidae and this one is SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY,all my best Radu.

Nicely done Sonia. The butterfly is crisp and sharp while the background softens. Great natural color and composition.

 

Best regards, Pamela

Lovely capture! Beautiful creature! Best regards, Linh Dinh

Nice capture!

Swallowtail it is.

 

The background colors contrast nicely against the butterfly's muted tones.

Beautiful macro with lovely colors and dof...Marjorie

Lovely macro shot with excellent dof to help focus on the butterfly.

Hi Sonia, Bonita mariposa, llena de vida y color. PD.- I've posted the original photo of the waves that you commented me. Greetings

Compliments by my friend "Puccini"!....Ciaomau!

Luxurious shot of the Monarch indeed on her purple throne. The colouring of the butterfly looks beautiful as does the bokeh. IMO though not too sure about the slightly in-focus leaf at bottom right, maybe this could have been cloned out....Anyway great shot Sonia....Regards

Very good work ... lovely.

It is so wonderful to hear from all of you. Thank you for clarifying - a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly. I truely appreciate it

Hi Sonia, A lovely photograph. Beautiful colouring all round.
