[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I love this blutterfly's "attitude" He was posing proud. Proud of who he was and he never backed down to the big bad photographer! This was taken in somewhat low light conditions. Every so often sunlight would come through the foliage and I got a lucky shot.
Enjoy! Hope you have a grand day!
Linda

Indeed you are a lucky person, Linda!

A beautiful harmony of colors can be seen in your picture. The butterfly is so adorable and simply posing for you :)
Great sharpness and wonderful POV as always. the light passing through the green leaf simply bringing energy into the picture. Very well done!

Hi Linda & great to see you back!

A superb macro of the butterfly, with good sharpness, color, & shallow dof. Nice bg bokeh & circles of confusion. The pink, oof, flower, adds a nice splash of color, that contrasts well, against the fg greenery. Tfs!

Excellent light and contrast, great view created by the light.
Best wishes,
Achim

Linda,
Great and wonderful capture...all is perfect!
Congratulation!

Hi Linda,
This is the POV which I adore the most in butterfly shots! Beautiful colors, wonderful light. Very good sharpness and DOF.

This is a beautiful photo Linda.
The green sheet is in a perfect pov. The colors are so amazing for my eyes.
A beautiful composition very attractive.
For the title I think about " Bernard and Bianca" the Disney's cartoon.
My compliments for this excellent macro work.

Hola Linda
Bonita foto captada justo en el filo de la hoja ciertamente parece lista para volar
un saludo

Olá Linda,
That is the greater and very nice "taking off" I had seen.
The butterfly is sharp and well colored despite the strong light.
A good post,
Boa sorte,

Hi Linda,
GOOD POV on this! Nice lights/shadows- you've done well with the low light conditions. Nicely composed. Thanks, Julie

Hi Linda,

a good shot in low lighting conditions.
good sharpness and the DOF is great and I also agree with you over the atitudeness. good contrast and colors.

Regards,
Sanjib.

Hello Linda,

Actually, the light looks fine.
You have a great shot here with the butterfly perfectly posed.
The narrow dof helps to emphasise its importance and its beauty.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

hi linda, i love the light in this, the dof and focus point is great, nice and sharp, very pretty, hope all is well, i was looking at the forums for the heck of it and wow there gets to be some heated debates!

Hi Linda,
This is a beautiful capture of this butterfly. Usually I see pictures with a top or side POV but rarely a front. Nice detail and good saturation in colors here in this shot. I love the bokeh in the BG. Nice work.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Warrior!
Happy to see y'r back! And how! Great image of this butterfly, wonderful narrow DOF showing the object really sharp and the the background blurred so the focus is on this wonderful B'fly! Strong cheerful colours. Great posting my dear Cowgal :-)

I'm soooooo glad things got sorted out Linda. I knew you'd have a great shot lined up for when you did get back on. I love the colors, and the bit of pink in the bg. Super duper detail! TFS

Linda,

Absolutely gorgeous. The light on the leaf is beautiful. Of course, I don't know how those critters stay still for your photos, but they do. I like the background and the bit of pink from the flowers. It adds a splash of bright magenta to the cool greens that are predominate. :) Lisa

Hello Linda,
An ecellent comp here with the butterfly on the third right leading into the scene. The lighting is as usual excellnet also.
Well captured...
Steve

Hi, Linda -
Missed this one - an unusual and beautiful butterfly macro. This is a great front view with wings spread and strongly backlit (as shown by the shadow coming through the leaf). The blurred but colorful flower in the background to the right adds a great touch. Well done!
