Good job catching up with this one. The details on the Swallowtail are great and show perfectly with the bright colored Azaleas. Mine are usually showing towards the end of the blooming season of this vibrant shrubs so I will have to settle for less dramatic colors . Thank you for sharing your photos.

Hi Jack. I so know what it's like to chase butterflies! Lol Sometimes they sit for awhile sipping nectar but other times they barely land before they take off again. You never get the chance to focus before they take off. You never know where they're going to land either! The chase is on!!! With all that you did a great job getting this shot! The lighting and focus are wonderful! Love that you got the proboscuis (don't know if I spelled that right) Nicely done and a joy to view! :o) Nancy

Jack, overall it is a striking image and a nice shot of this butterfly. The colors are nicely shown against the pink colors of the azaleas. Unfortunately, it is a tad out of focus.

the butterfly says "i spend all this time to get here and will she let me rest? NO! she puts me to work! mumble mumble mumble!" lol. very nice colorful capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the angle of the shot of this colorful butterfly and flowers is great. the capture of the light is great. the presentation is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. great eye and awesome work overall.

You've got an eye for nature photography! The framing works beautifully, and the blend of light, shadows, and vibrant colours makes this shot stand out. Fine effort!

Jack,
A very beautiful picture of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly sucking nectar from the mauve Azaleas. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

The yellow really stands out against the pink. Nice details. It's just a tad out of focus. Overall though it's a nice shot. Thank you for sharing.
