This is a splendid shot of nature! Can't say which is more colourful! The flowers or the butterfly!:) You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Excellent close up, Lori, showing this beautiful Monarch butterfly on the pretty flowers. Very good lighting and focus showing great detail in its markings. Very nice composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

nice capture of the butterfly, but since it is the main subject it should be bigger in the frame

still, a lovely entry for the contest, good luck with it and thanks for sharing

Cool,Lori!
Monarch butterflies have a fine 'Classical' type of a look to them,don't they!

A very pretty entry into the competion posted here! Your fine and off-centre composition allows us an enjoyable view of the beautiful scene before you!
Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

This image has lovely depth and very attractive colors. I like how you caught the butterfly on an actual butterfly flower bush. These really do attract the butterflies.

Sharp, colorful, timely, and just beautiful. The butterfly seemed to have come to celebrate a colour party, as it's colours blended with those colourful flowers.

And your faded green background, brought it all to focus, which prevented a clash of interests, as we celebrate this beautiful shot.

Well done and keep it coming ð???ð??¾ð??¯

What lovely colors you have here!.the Flowers and the monarch hold their own. I may have cropped a little off the right and had the monarch off centered but otherwise nice focus and clarity

Comment from Lorafina


There has been a petition signed to add Monarchs to the endagered species list. How sad!:( But this photo is beautiful. It captured the butterfly on the flowers(Lantana's I believe) and the side view allos the viewer to admire the full wing patern that is so beautiful. I think I would crop a little more off of the right side because there is too much space without visual interest. That's just my opinion. Still a 5 for sure. Great job!

    Thanks so much for the very nice review! I did try cropping this more but it seemed to lose some of the beauty when I did! Thanks for the suggestion though! Have a great day! Lori
