Wow gorgeous, I like how you captured the butterfly on its moment of landing. And beautiful butterfly, I don't think I have seen that one here where I live.

composition is wonderful, and the lighting is perfect, the flower makes me feel like it's demanding my attention, it draws me right in to the focal center of the photograph. well done. =] you've done an excellent job on this photograph. it's truly a beautiful image.

This is beautiful. You captured the action in this scene very well. I especially enjoyed that the butterfly seems to be ready to spring off of the flower. From what I see here, this looks like it was taken by a professional photographer. Amazing!

Very beautiful! The shot itself is so nice, all of the focus on the butterfly and flower and it's so clean and crisp. Gotta love it!

Have you thought of adding a simple border perhaps?

eveningstargazer In reply to 1ArmedScissors [2006-07-30 18:50:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you and yes I have... I just never got around to it. any suggestions on whether it should be black or white?

Thanks again

1ArmedScissors In reply to eveningstargazer [2006-07-30 18:54:10 +0000 UTC]

I think it looks nice in color. You could always do the background b&w and leave the focal points in color, but I've seen that alot, but it could look nice.

Just a thought....
