A very romantic shot with a handsome DOF - great frame - super lighting - great artistic adjustments - super focus - the colors are very harmonious together - very beautiful composition - it has a handsome effect as it is somehow dark but soft at the same time - amazing image with the perfect color saturation, contrast and exposure - very lovely job could be a greeting card as it has empty spaces for some beautiful text

Comment from Sange


LOVERLY! DELIGHTFUL!
I love when you do these shots. The earth tone muted color of the Julia against the bright of the red and green are simply fab!
Your smooth background(Remember those f~stops!)
simply put..
EILEENTASTIC!

SO much to like about this..from the muted yet vivid color to the wonderful shadow across the leaf below the butterfly. Wonderful presentation, with just enough blur at left to gently direct the eye..bravo!! Donkeyoatey

Betty, the brown butterfly hanging on!
This plant Don Manuel is a hummingbird fave plant because of its sweet nectar and attractive deep orange florets.
The narrow depth of field provide the necessary focusing to render the popping out optical illusion of the subject.
Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful, Eileen. There is something about the colors of the leaves, butterfly, and flowers that work so well together. Of course, the composition is top notch all the way. A real winner.

Beautiful color and contrast. I like the composition and the excellent lighting, like the dark background and the texture. Well done.

Comment from MarnaB


The colors are so very rich and appealing and the black background is perfect. I must admit that at first look I thought that it was part of the plant. I have never seen one quite like that. The capture is stunningly beautiful

    thanks so much Marna! This is actually called the Julia Butterfly. I think I forgot to add that to my description.
