My sister has a beautiful garden, quite large, where she has all sorts of butterfly, hummingbird, moth plants and every fall I am usually up there for some reason or another and I get to see the migration of the monarchs as they feed on their way to Mexico and beyond.
Have a great day!

Hi, Linda -
Another multiple butterfly pic - they cooperate so nicely for you! Perfect DOF with sharpness on the center flower and the two butterflies perched on it. Wonderful warm colors throughout. Love the white spots on the bodies of the insects. Great work, Linda, and congrats on your big ride!

Hi Linda

Another stunning shot of the orange & black monarch butterflies, with superb sharpness, color, framing & saturation. I like the repetition of the splashes of pink & white from the oof bg flowers. Tfs!

Hi Linda,
I wish I was a Monarch heading to Mexico, ha ha. This is a beautiful photo. The colors are fantastic, really nice clarity and a good feeling photo. Congrats on your ride !!! TFS Julie

la cosa più bella della foto è la luce che sei riuscita a catturare
ottima per la definizione che hai ottenuto
ricorda le vecchie foto fatte con i rullini da diapositive
non so perchè ma mi trasmette questo

Hello Linda,

A fine dof which isolates these pretty butterflies and their associated flowers from the blurred b/g. You have done well to keep them all in focus.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Very nice composition, Linda!
The triangular placement of these monarchs on the deliciate flowers is very beautiful. Excellent DOF giving good details on the wings, fluid colors and a soft background.
Bravo! Annie

Great shot of these butterfly's!! Good focus on the two at the top and even the tird one is good to see!

Beautiful colours, is this really autumn? It looks like summer of springcolours! Well seen in your sisters garden!!

Janneke

Wow Linda, your sister is one lucky woman , her garden gets the visit of these mighty monarchs on their way south , must be terrific to watch them flutter around . A timely visit for you , you have a winner here, three for the price of one, i buy ! Gee she has hummingbirds too , she should charge you an admission fee , ha ha !
Sharp and i like the splashes of pink in the BG nice touch of colors in this shot !
TFS,
Carol
