Hi Willie, tremendous shot. Good detail and color. Generally I wouldn't care so much for the contrast from the direct sun, but the shadows through the wings are great. Well done, sir!

Good eye to catch just the right lighting on this one. The silhouette of the body and wing folds showing through give it more dimension than just translucent wings. Nice background and flower is nice and sharp. Good job!

Wow, all time best indeed. How gorgeous this is. The clarity is stunning and so are the colors. Great point of view and composition. Beautiful blurred background. Really gorgeous.

Comment from Cephus


Nicely composed and posed image. The transmitted light gives added interest and gives great color.

Wish that this one had better overall sharpness - the bottom wing is great but the top wing and the head are a bit too soft. Do not quite understand why as it appears as you were shooting about perpendicular to the subject. Perhaps just a stop or two would have done it.

Colors are great and nice soft background.

    Thank you! I'm not sure about the soft focus either.

I very much do like the way the light is penetrating the wings!
Great colours, nicely framed, great clarity.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Great photo of a butterfly. The backlit wings against the darker green background work well. Also like the colors of the flower. They compliment the greens perfectly. Nice shot!

Comment from Art images by lois


The transparency of the fragile wings is beautiful. I like the details, colors and the dried flower. The colors are so harmonious and visually appealing. It has nice framing, focus and texture. It is a nice photo, not many, like myself, knew how transparent a wing is. Never heard of a sulfur butterfly. Are they a north, south or west butterfly? It is a very sharp picture. Not much to change. Good job.
