Butterfly4

There seem to be unusually lots more butterflies around in Wales this

Summer.

Terrific colours - I need to get some more butterfly shots.

This is one of the better butterfly shots I've seen in a while; the animal look great (no torn wings), lovely color, great background color, well positioned in the frame, well angled to get the max depth of field, and a great textured surface for the butterfly to be on. A textbook-perfect image. The only thing I wonder about that might be a tiny bit distracting to such a stunning image is the blurry black item (leaf?) in the middle bottom part of the image.

Thank you Dale and Douglas. As for the black item in the foreground, I did wonder about cloning it out after having taken the shot but I just left it. The original idea had been to give the butterfly a sense of direction which wasn't into a void. I will try clearing it to see what it looks like.

Quality image of this lovely "Lady".

Happy Christmas and a prosperous new year my friend.
