[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I take so much pictures that file storage and organization is becoming a problem. This image was from way back in 2005 and was taken with an old D100 which has been retired. And if I remember it right, it was from my backyard, that is before I severely pruned the rose bush because of severe fungal infection. Almost all butterflies that I see in my garden have tatterred wings. This imperfection doesn't seem to affect their flight habits. This beauty lingered long and appeared not to be extremely disturbed as I patiently positioned myself for an angle.

We are getting a much needed rain this morning. It's a good day to stay indoors, catch on sleep, and fiddle around the house. Thanks for visiting.

hi Danilo

Superb macro shot of butterfly and the flower with good sharp details in natural filtered light.

Nicely composed shot. The butterfly can move around anywhere with broken wings - unlike a man-made airplane. tfs

Hi Danilo,
Wonderful colors and details in this photo. The imperfection shows the true nature- that not everything is perfect. Well seen and composed. TFS Julie

Another beauty Danilo. The detail you have on the butterfly is pretty great for an old retired camera. I can see all the fine hairs. Of course the rose is beautiful with its colour and water drops. The combination makes for a really nice composition and presentation. Well done.

Hello Danilo,

This is a very sharp and detailed shot of this attractive butterfly and its pretty rose!
The off-centre composition and the dof are both first rate.
This year, because of the very wet weather, we have had a very poor show of butterflies. I had only seen three in the garden pre-September! We had a little flurry of them in autumn but not enough to brag about!
The butterflies ususally get ragged around eye-spots. I have been told that birds attack these areas thinking they will kill the insect; happily the butterflies escape, ragged but uninjured!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
I'll be back!

Hi Danilo. this can be just another butterfly on a flower shot but as i look at it more closely it has a certain clarity on it that seems to render it a bit like 3D. just fantastic!

Danilo,
Kumusta? Another excellent picture! Galing talaga ng kuha mo. I can see a lot of good details here. Fantastic ang colors. Napaka klaro ng focus mo dito. Bongga ang dating.
BRAVO!

Hi again Danilo, a great macro capture of athgis beautiful butterfly from an anterior POV. Wonderful details, lighting and composition too.
TFS and cheers,

An excellent POV Danilo. I may have mentioned before that we have only 5 species of butterfly down here and they refuse to pose for me. Very good focus and the detail remarkable. TFS,
