A beautiful photograph of the lemon tail butterfly nicely placed in the center of the picture and the dark background shows off his colors nicely. Nice job.

A very nice close up of the butterfly. Good composition and sharpness. The Swallowtail is both contrasted against the background darkness and seems to be a part of that darkness.

A gorgeous shot of the lemon swallowtail. Your central composition is engaging. I think you low perspective aids in your composition. Very well photographed with good lighting sharp focus and wonderful details and clarity in your photography. A good entry into the Butterfly up close Contest and a good contender and good luck. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful shot of one of the hardest creatures to catch, for me anyway. I love the colors of the butterfly as well as the flower they blend well. I like how they are in the fore front of the picture. Your shot is steady and precise. Thank you for sharing part of your world with us. Gina

Comment from Wisper


Very nice shot. The butterfly is crisp, clear and composition is very good. I'm sure I couldn't have done better. I'm always intrigued with butterfly shots. There must be a secret for keeping them steady while you shoot.
I reviewed again and have a 5. I'm very new and will do better.

I love butterflies!
Many of my photos are butterflies as well.
You did a great job capturing the Lemon Swallowtail, good center, sharp focus, nice contrast with the bloom and a non busy background!
Excellent, I love it!
5 Star Review!

Very pretty, love the colours on this butterfly, can see the eyes on this little face, some of the spots must confuse the things that eat this butterfly to be able to find the head of it,,great capture, love the blurb about all the name this little creature has

Stunning capture. I particularly like the way the butterfly hangs on the flower, and the red/orange tones top and bottom left give nice contrast to the subject. Great arrangement.

Quite a nice vivid close up of this beauty. I really the great display of the wings and their distinctive markings. Shows up so well against the dark background. Very nice details and clarity too. Best of luck in the contest.
