tey are hard to come by this year, draught I don't know, I grow wild flowers and usually there are hundreds mostly monarchs but this year only a few. Nicely done, good clarity and color and dof.

A wonderful photo with great detail on the butterfly showing all the intricate design. Very clear shot with the subdued green background making the butterly really stand out. Lovely

So crisp and perfectly balanced. Butterflies have a habit of not staying still for a long Period. DOF is perfect as is the contrast and cropping. Well played!

Fantastic detail and color in this little guy. I would give this a full 6 stars if it wasn't for the mildly distracting object behind his antennae. Great job!

You have captured a beauty here. She is pretty in color, the sharpness is good and the fur on her body is soft to the eyes. Wonderful!
