[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I must admit I prefer color photography than b&w; hence the title.

This is a monarch butterfly taken from Brookside Butterfly Garden in Wheaton, Maryland. The monarch butterfly is sometimes called the "milkweed butterfly" because its larvae eat the plant. Milkweed is the only thing the larvae can eat. Most predators have learned that the monarch butterfly makes a poisonous snack. The toxins from the monarch's milkweed diet have given the butterfly this defense. In either the caterpillar or butterfly stage, the monarch needs no camouflage because it takes in toxins from the milkweed and is poisonous to predators. Many animals advertise their poisonous nature with bright colors... just like the monarch!

Good Morning, Danilo!

Wow, here we have great colors of the summer season! I feel that you have put all the colors together to make it a marvellous shot :)
The sharpness is crisp and the POV is brilliantly chosen. The DOF is amazing and the colors are at their best. A harmony of colors, I must say!

Very well done!

thanks and greetings,
Paras Bhalla

Hello, Danilo -
I can see why you like color photos - this one is bursting with intense color. In addition, the fine macro details of the butterfly and flower are sharp and are exposed perfectly, while the background is smoothly blurred. Great classic image, nicely done.

Hi Danilo,
very elegant butterfly. Of course, the elegant photo. Butterfly well isolated from the environment - it's a big deal.
Excellent sharpness.
Regards - Slawek

Ciao my friend Danilo


Enjoy your summer!
An impressive result from this fine macro work!
The wing pattern is reproduced with sharp fine
details, and the colour reproduction is first class...
A fine composition, where the DoF spot on creates
a fine 3-D effect!
