Description Canon Digital Rebel XSi
18-55mm kit lens

A butterfly perches on a leaf, posing for a few moments before fluttering off. Taken at the butterfly pavilion at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Really interesting place, especially if you love insects! All we see around here typically is the monarch, so this place is an exotic retreat.

Please tell me what you think!

I went to the Henry Doorly Zoo when I visited America in July I had to wait outside the Butterfly Pavillion whilst my friends went in, because I'm scared of them XD

The zoo? Oh my gosh, yes, it was all kinda of awesome. I was kind of devestated that the grizzly bear was hiding in its cave though. I've never seen one before.

Butterflies, that is, not my friends. They took a while, but it was cool because I saw a bright red bird whilst they were gone and had a squeezure over that.

Nice way you play with the lines, the butterfly looks up with the legs facing left and standing on a leaned flower.
I got a XSi kit lens Buttlerfly shot too! and both flowers look alike, check here sometime! [link]

Beautifully subtle, deep and illuminated colors.
The soft details and interesting perspective really make this piece stand out from others like it, and the lightning is really beautiful.
