    Thank you very much! The computer is working now, but I don't know when I get those paint programs going. I have a lot of trouble with them right now. :o)

You have captured this Swallowtail really well Cleo, and especially the antennas are standing out well. I also like the simplicity of this photo with the all blue background, and the butterfly is standing out from it in an excellent way.

The photo is sharp showing clear and well defined details in the wings of the butterfly, and the exposure is very good.

The minor cropping has worked well and I think the butterfly has got a fine placement within the frame. A truly lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Linda Wetzel


I am fascinated by the tiger stripe markings on this lovely butterfly. They give the appearance of brushed charcoal that gives a dusty patina to their wings.

This is an excellent capture of the butterfly. Exposure and focus are well done. Details and lighting are good. Colors are well balanced and appear natural.

Wonderful clear image of this Eastern Tiger Swallow Tail in full wing display delicately balanced on this twig. Lovely details against the pale blue sky and the red flower.
Great composition, well balanced and a pleasure to view!

A beautiful image that is well composed and very sharp. The colors are great and the depth of field is exceptional. A well composed image that should do well in the contest. Good luck.

This is an attractive representation of colors in nature. Each color has a lovely vibrancy and look good together. I like how the sharpness has brought out the powdery texture of the butterfly's wings and the sharp definition of the flower is also very nice.

Comment from Joanna Bachman


The diagonal splay of the branches and shoots make a miniature shape of the the lovely butterfly's wings.The red petals of the flower are a good contrast against the black and the yellow.
Cordially,
