A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and traditional composition offers us a good look at both your lovely butterfly and gorgeous bloom. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

Lee Ann,
A very beautiful picture of the blooming Teasle with the Monarch butterfly alighted upon it the sunlight glowing around it from behind creating a halo of light against the dark background. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Comment from Pamela Ruggiero
Hi, Lee Ann. Did you say you raise monarchs? I think they eat only milkweed. I have not gotten around to planting some here. Monarchs are my favorite butterfly. Populations of all butterflies are greatly reduced. I painted a couple of monarchs once. http://www.pamusart.com/PaintingCloseups.php?ArtID=4200000
They are so beautiful. You caught the thistle releasing pollen. Six stars for this beautiful photo. Good luck in the contest Thank you for sharing

Wow. Keep up the good work. I am severely disabled and can?t garden. How much care does milkweed need? Maybe I?ll hire a nursery to plant it

This is so pretty! Both the monarch and this very interesting teasel plant! I like the position of the butterfly on the plant , I see good detail on both the butterfly and the plant, the black background pushes them for a for a good look.
Well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the colors and tones are gorgeous and they appear natural.
Well composed and presented!

The thistle seems aglow, almost as if engulfed in yellow flames. The Monarch appears among the flaming thistle in a softer glow. The refinement of detail is impressive. The dark background emphasizes the thistle and the butterfly considerably. The tall amplifies the shape of the thistle. The composition is well balanced.

That's a beautiful picture indeed,LeeAnn!
Monarchs are classy looking butterflies to begin with and this one,perched on that pleasantly exotic looking bud and placed against that warm black background,looks Great!
