Comment from Angel Knight
The focus and detail of the cabbage butterfly coincide with the title or storyline. The vibrant colors all match up for perfect view of this specimen also. The lighting enhances and combines all of it real well. - Angel Knight

Comment from Stringbean
Good artists notes and I like the storytelling with your image. Good camera techniques and nice stop action capture of this Cabbage Butterfly. Very well photographed with beautiful lighting sharp focus and good details and clarity in your image. Your wide aperture has rendered the background soft yet recognizable. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Very nice in flight pose of this CB Butter G!
Like the wing spread, use of Natural light, soft DOF and superb stop action.
Unique shot with a fine placement within the frame.
Nice work GEM ;)

Thank you Sange! I have been chasing these guys for weeks trying to get a decent shot of them flying :) Haven't been happy with the backgrounds but this one will do!

Nice capture of this Cabbage Grace. The focus is sharp on the head and thorax and the whites are well done and not overexposed. good placement in the frame. Excellent artists notes. I was not aware of their ability to accumulate mustard oil rendering them unpalatable. Good one Grace ~Steve

Excellent close up of this Cabbage White Butterfly, Grace - I know they are a nuisance in the garden but this one does look beautiful. I like the angle you used for this. Excellent lighting and focus showing great detail in the markings. Very good composition. Suzanne

A great shot showing a beautiful butterfly I've not seen before.

the markings are so delicate and gorgeous.

Your soft background keeps this beauty front and center and is perfectly composed.

A very nice looking nature shot posted here! Your full and central composition captures an enjoyable action moment. Like the detail in the wings. Sharpness and exposure are fine. Well done!
